Subject: [PATCH v5 07/10] KVM: x86: nSVM: Save gPAT to vmcb12.g_pat on VMEXIT
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 16:54:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224005500.1471972-8-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224005500.1471972-1-jmattson@google.com>
According to the APM volume 3 pseudo-code for "VMRUN," when nested paging
is enabled in the vmcb, the guest PAT register (gPAT) is saved to the vmcb
on emulated VMEXIT.
When nested NPT is enabled, save the vmcb02 g_pat field to the vmcb12 g_pat
field on emulated VMEXIT.
Fixes: 15038e147247 ("KVM: SVM: obey guest PAT")
