[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH][XTF] XSA-286: fix PAE variant of test
L3 entry updates aren't specified to take immediate effect in PAE mode:
On bare metal, only the next CR3 load actually loads the PDPTEs, and a
32-bit Xen also wouldn't immediately propagate new entries into the
PDPTEs. Them taking immediate effect (leaving aside the need to flush
the TLB) on 64-bit Xen is merely to not complicate the hypervisor
implementation more than necessary. Guests cannot depend on such
behavior, and hence this test shouldn't either.
Insert the hypercall equivalent of a CR3 reload into the multicall.

With this, cb199cc7de98 ('Revert "x86/PV32: avoid TLB flushing after
mod_l3_entry()" and "x86/PV: restrict TLB flushing after
mod_l[234]_entry()"') should imo be reverted from the Xen tree. The
claim was wrong that the test was correct and hypervisor code flawed.
