Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] VMX: Disable SMAP feature when guest is in non-paging mode
Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:36:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1398263814-32141-1-git-send-email-feng.wu@intel.com> (raw)

SMAP is disabled if CPU is in non-paging mode in hardware.
However Xen always uses paging mode to emulate guest non-paging
mode with HAP. To emulate this behavior, SMAP needs to be manually
disabled when guest switches to non-paging mode.

This logic is similiar with SMEP.
