Subject: [PATCH 26/28] KVM: SVM: enable GMET and set it in MMU role
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:09:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428110946.11466-27-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428110946.11466-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
Set the GMET bit in the nested control field. This has effectively
no impact as long as NPT page tables are changed to have U=0.
Tested-by: David Riley <d.riley@proxmox.com>
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
