Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: bit 8 of non-leaf PDPEs is not reserved
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2020 07:10:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200630111005.457029-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
Bit 8 would be the "global" bit, which does not quite make sense for non-leaf
page table entries. Intel ignores it; AMD ignores it in PDEs and PDPEs, but
reserves it in PML4Es.
Probably, earlier versions of the AMD manual documented it as reserved in PDPEs
as well, and that behavior made it into KVM as well as kvm-unit-tests; fix it.
