Subject: [PATCH v10 27/28] KVM: selftests: Add a new VM guest mode to run user level code
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 14:36:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911213659.2025974-28-sohil.mehta@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911213659.2025974-1-sohil.mehta@intel.com>

From: "Xin Li (Intel)" <xin@zytor.com>

Add a new VM guest mode VM_MODE_PXXV48_4K_USER to set the user bit of
guest page table entries, thus allow user level code to run in guests.
