Subject: [patch 3/3] KVM: VMX: handle segment limit granularity special case in software
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:07:12 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080716221401.578260549@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080716220709.886199616@localhost.localdomain
[-- Attachment #1: vmx-seg-limit-bits-0-11-zeroed --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1157 bytes --]
As the comment in the diff mentions, VMX does not accept any bit in
the range 11:0 of ES,CS,FS,GS,SS segment registers limit field to
be zero with the granulity bit set to one.
So clear granularity and adjust the limit accordingly.
