Subject: [PATCH 10/11] KVM: MMU: fix detecting misaligned accessed
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 19:31:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E2EA5AA.2010708@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4E2EA3DB.7040403@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
