This is with a Linux guest (HVM of course), right? The access pattern to the memory page that was recognized as a pagetable access was a regular memcpy doing 4 byte aligned writes into a newly allocated page. I'm not that familiar with the shadow pagetable code, so I don't know how "wrong" this is, just that it caused a false positive on this type of memory access.and what heuristic you found to be wrong in this case? Most probably the guest OS is recycling a page that used to be a pagetable and that is still shadowed.
