Subject: [PATCH 22/28] KVM: x86/mmu: introduce cpu_role bit for availability of PFEC.I/D
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 11:07:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430150747.76749-23-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430150747.76749-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>

While GMET looks a lot like SMEP, it has several annoying differences.
The main one is that the availability of the I/D bit in the page fault
error code still depends on the host CR4.SMEP and EFER.NXE bits.  If the
base.cr4_smep bit of the cpu_role is (ab)used to enable GMET, there needs
to be another place where the host CR4.SMEP is read from; just merge it
with EFER.NXE into a new cpu_role bit that tells paging_tmpl.h whether
to set the I/D bit at all.
