Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Segregate shadow pages with different cr0.wp
Date: Wed, 12 May 2010 11:48:18 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273654098-1543-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)

When cr0.wp=0, we may shadow a gpte having u/s=1 and r/w=0 with an spte
having u/s=0 and r/w=1.  This allows excessive access if the guest sets
cr0.wp=1 and accesses through this spte.

Fix by making cr0.wp part of the base role; we'll have different sptes for
the two cases and the problem disappears.
