Subject: [PATCH V9 1/5] x86/hvm: pkeys, disable pkeys for guests in non-paging mode
Date: Wed,  3 Feb 2016 22:12:01 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454508725-22786-2-git-send-email-huaitong.han@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1454508725-22786-1-git-send-email-huaitong.han@intel.com>

This patch disables pkeys for guest in non-paging mode, However XEN always uses
paging mode to emulate guest non-paging mode, To emulate this behavior, pkeys
needs to be manually disabled when guest switches to non-paging mode.
