[PATCH] KVM: vmx: fix VPID is 0000H in non-root operation
From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Wed Sep 16 2015 - 07:31:29 EST
Reference SDM 28.1:
The current VPID is 0000H in the following situations:
â Outside VMX operation. (This includes operation in system-management
mode under the default treatment of SMIs and SMM with VMX operation;
see Section 34.14.)
â In VMX root operation.
â In VMX non-root operation when the âenable VPIDâ VM-execution control
is 0.
The VPID should never be 0000H in non-root operation when "enable VPID"
VM-execution control is 1. However, commit (34a1cd60: 'kvm: x86: vmx:
move some vmx setting from vmx_init() to hardware_setup()') remove the
codes which reserve 0000H for VMX root operation.
This patch fix it by reintroducing reserve 0000H for VMX root operation.
