Subject: [PATCH v2 11/12] KVM: MMU: fix detecting misaligned accessed
Date: Tue, 02 Aug 2011 19:12:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E37DBA4.4020606@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4E37DA49.1040000@cn.fujitsu.com>
Sometimes, we only modify the last one byte of a pte to update status bit,
for example, clear_bit is used to clear r/w bit in linux kernel and 'andb'
instruction is used in this function, in this case, kvm_mmu_pte_write will
treat it as misaligned access, and the shadow page table is zapped
