From edc90b7dc4ceef62ef0ad9cc6c3f5dc770e83ad2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiao Guangrong Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 22:55:21 +0800 Subject: KVM: MMU: fix SMAP virtualization KVM may turn a user page to a kernel page when kernel writes a readonly user page if CR0.WP = 1. This shadow page entry will be reused after SMAP is enabled so that kernel is allowed to access this user page Fix it by setting SMAP && !CR0.WP into shadow page's role and reset mmu once CR4.SMAP is updated Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini --- Documentation/virtual/kvm/mmu.txt | 18 ++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'Documentation') diff --git a/Documentation/virtual/kvm/mmu.txt b/Documentation/virtual/kvm/mmu.txt index 53838d9c6295..c59bd9bc41ef 100644 --- a/Documentation/virtual/kvm/mmu.txt +++ b/Documentation/virtual/kvm/mmu.txt @@ -169,6 +169,10 @@ Shadow pages contain the following information: Contains the value of cr4.smep && !cr0.wp for which the page is valid (pages for which this is true are different from other pages; see the treatment of cr0.wp=0 below). + role.smap_andnot_wp: + Contains the value of cr4.smap && !cr0.wp for which the page is valid + (pages for which this is true are different from other pages; see the + treatment of cr0.wp=0 below). gfn: Either the guest page table containing the translations shadowed by this page, or the base page frame for linear translations.
