[PATCH 03/24] KVM: x86/mmu: free up bit 10 of PTEs in preparation for MBEC
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 1 week ago
From: Jon Kohler <jon@nutanix.com>

Update SPTE_MMIO_ALLOWED_MASK to allow EPT user executable (bit 10) to
be treated like EPT RWX bit2:0, as when mode-based execute control is
enabled, bit 10 can act like a "present" bit.  Likewise do not include
it in FROZEN_SPTE.

No functional changes intended, other than the reduction of the maximum
MMIO generation that is stored in page tables.
