Subject: [PATCH] shadow-fixes.patch
Date: Sat, 28 May 2005 15:34:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050528223407.GA25615@intel.com> (raw)

1. Indexing guest_pt[] can fault. Need to use __copy_from_user. This was
preventing FreeBSD 5.4 and RHEL3 install kernel from booting.

2. Read-only page tables should remain read only on a VMX domain. Linux 2.6
   depends on getting a write fault on a L2 page table page.
