Subject: [PATCH 09/28] KVM: x86/mmu: separate more EPT/non-EPT permission_fault()
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:09:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428110946.11466-10-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428110946.11466-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
Now that EPT is not abusing anymore ACC_USER_MASK, move its
handling entirely in the !ept branch. Merge smepf and ff
into a single variable because EPT's "SMEP" (actually
MBEC) is defined differently.
Tested-by: David Riley <d.riley@proxmox.com>
