Subject: [PATCH v3 6/8] KVM: x86: nSVM: Save/restore gPAT with KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE
Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2026 13:43:06 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260205214326.1029278-7-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260205214326.1029278-1-jmattson@google.com>
Add a 'flags' field to the SVM nested state header, and use bit 0 of the
flags to indicate that gPAT is stored in the nested state.
If in guest mode with NPT enabled, store the current vmcb->save.g_pat value
into the header of the nested state, and set the flag.
Note that struct kvm_svm_nested_state_hdr is included in a union padded to
120 bytes, so there is room to add the flags field and the gpt field
without changing any offsets.
Fixes: cc440cdad5b7 ("KVM: nSVM: implement KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE")
