Subject: AMD SVM question (svm_asid_g_invlpg)
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:14:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49BFB046.5050200@eu.citrix.com> (raw)

Hello,

SVM code doesn't use the INVLPGA instruction, but rather invalidate the 
whole ASID when invalidating a guest page.

INVLPG exit is enabled only on shadow code, which is smart enough to 
handle corner cases like splintered pagetables invlpg's.

Is this a workaround for some buggy hardware? Is there any problem in 
enabling the INVLPGA instruction?

Thanks,
Gianluca
