Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: selftests: Verify that L2's LMSW leaves L1-owned CR0 bits alone
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 16:50:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029235040.12013-3-ma.mandourr@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029235040.12013-1-ma.mandourr@gmail.com>

From: Mahmoud Abumandour <ma.mandourr@gmail.com>

Verify that an LMSW in L2 that exits to L0 only leaves an L1-owned CR0.TS
set, and that L2 reads an L1-owned CR0.NE from the read shadow.

Assisted-by: LLM
