Subject: [PATCH kvm-unit-tests] x86/vmx: Skip LAM CR3 bits in 32-bit guest reserved bit tests
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 07:02:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707070240.78295-1-xudong.hao@intel.com> (raw)
According to Intel SDM 4.4.1 "Linear-Address Masking" (LAM), CR3 bits
61 (LAM_U57) and 62 (LAM_U48) are LAM control bits, not reserved. Skip
the LAM control bits in the CR3 reserved-bit loops when LAM is
supported for vmx_pae_test and vmx_pse_test.
Fixes: 55b77db1 ("vmx: add a test for 32-bit guest PAE paging PDPTEs")
Fixes: feef9d92 ("vmx: add test for 32-bit non-PAE guest")
Signed-off-by: Xudong Hao <xudong.hao@intel.com>
