Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/6] KVM: x86: nSVM: Cache g_pat in vmcb_ctrl_area_cached
Date: Fri,  7 Nov 2025 12:11:27 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251107201151.3303170-5-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251107201151.3303170-1-jmattson@google.com>

Add a g_pat field to the vmcb_ctrl_area_cached struct for caching the
VMCB12 g_pat at emulated VMRUN. This is a preliminary step to allow
for proper validation and handling of the VMCB12 g_pat when nested
paging is enabled in VMCB12.

Fixes: 3d6368ef580a ("KVM: SVM: Add VMRUN handler")
