[PATCH 28/35] KVM: MMU: Set the accessed bit on non-speculative shadow ptes

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Thu Apr 03 2008 - 15:41:58 EST


If we populate a shadow pte due to a fault (and not speculatively due to a
pte write) then we can set the accessed bit on it, as we know it will be
set immediately on the next guest instruction. This saves a read-modify-write
operation.
