Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/9] KVM: x86/mmu: Free up A/D bits in FROZEN_SPTE
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2024 11:34:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240801183453.57199-6-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240801183453.57199-1-seanjc@google.com>
Remove all flavors of A/D bits from FROZEN_SPTE so that KVM can keep A/D
bits set in SPTEs that are frozen, without getting false positives.
