Subject: [PATCH 02/10] KVM: x86: nSVM: Add VALID_GPAT flag to kvm_svm_nested_state_hdr
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 16:29:57 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113003016.3511895-3-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260113003016.3511895-1-jmattson@google.com>
Now that the svm_copy_vmrun_state() copies the g_pat field, L1's g_pat
will be stored in the serialized nested state. Add a 'flags' field to
the SVM nested state header, define a VALID_GPAT flag, and start
reporting this flag in the serialized nested state populated by
KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE.
Note that struct kvm_svm_nested_state_hdr is included in a union
padded to 120 bytes, so there is room to add the flags field without
changing any offsets.
