Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] KVM: x86: nSVM: Handle restore of legacy nested state
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 15:21:46 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260115232154.3021475-8-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260115232154.3021475-1-jmattson@google.com>
When nested NPT is enabled and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE is used to restore an
old checkpoint (without a valid gPAT), the current IA32_PAT value must be
copied to vmcb02->save.g_pat.
Unfortunately, the current IA32_PAT value may be restored by KVM_SET_MSRS
after KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE.
Introduce a new boolean, svm->nested.restore_gpat_from_pat. If set,
svm_vcpu_pre_run() will copy vcpu->arch.pat to vmcb02->save.g_pat and clear
the boolean.
