Subject: [PATCH 17/28] KVM: nVMX: pass PFERR_USER_MASK to MMU on EPT violations
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:09:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428110946.11466-18-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428110946.11466-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>

For EPT, PFERR_USER_MASK refers not to the CPL of the guest,
but to the AND of the U bits encountered while walking guest
page tables; this is consistent with how MBEC differentiates
between XS and XU.  This is available through the
"advanced vmexit information for EPT violations" feature.

Tested-by: David Riley <d.riley@proxmox.com>
