Emulating cr0.wp
|
||||||
|
================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If tdp is not enabled, the host must keep cr0.wp=1 so page write protection
|
||||||
|
works for the guest kernel, not guest guest userspace. When the guest
|
||||||
|
cr0.wp=1, this does not present a problem. However when the guest cr0.wp=0,
|
||||||
|
we cannot map the permissions for gpte.u=1, gpte.w=0 to any spte (the
|
||||||
|
semantics require allowing any guest kernel access plus user read access).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We handle this by mapping the permissions to two possible sptes, depending
|
||||||
|
on fault type:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- kernel write fault: spte.u=0, spte.w=1 (allows full kernel access,
|
||||||
|
disallows user access)
|
||||||
|
- read fault: spte.u=1, spte.w=0 (allows full read access, disallows kernel
|
||||||
|
write access)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(user write faults generate a #PF)
