Subject: [PATCH v4 10/11] KVM: MMU: fix detecting misaligned accessed
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:57:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E7AF893.1000407@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4E7AF758.7060900@cn.fujitsu.com>

Sometimes, we only modify the last one byte of a pte to update status bit,
for example, clear_bit is used to clear r/w bit in linux kernel and 'andb'
instruction is used in this function, in this case, kvm_mmu_pte_write will
treat it as misaligned access, and the shadow page table is zapped
