[PATCH 01/24] KVM: x86/mmu: Set SPTE_AD_WRPROT_ONLY_MASK if and only if PML is enabled

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Date: 2021-02-25 20:49:03
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Check that PML is actually enabled before setting the mask to force a
SPTE to be write-protected.  The bits used for the !AD_ENABLED case are
in the upper half of the SPTE.  With 64-bit paging and EPT, these bits
are ignored, but with 32-bit PAE paging they are reserved.  Setting them
for L2 SPTEs without checking PML breaks NPT on 32-bit KVM.
