KVM: MMU: fix Dirty bit missed if CR0.WP = 0
If the write-fault access is from supervisor and CR0.WP is not set on the vcpu, kvm will fix it by adjusting pte access - it sets the W bit on pte and clears U bit. This is the chance that kvm can change pte access from readonly to writable Unfortunately, the pte access is the access of 'direct' shadow page table, means direct sp.role.access = pte_access, then we will create a writable spte entry on the readonly shadow page table. It will cause Dirty bit is not tracked when two guest ptes point to the same large page. Note, it does not have other impact except Dirty bit since cr0.wp is encoded into sp.role It can be fixed by adjusting pte access before establishing shadow page table. Also, after that, no mmu specified code exists in the common function and drop two parameters in set_spte Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <[email protected]>
