This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled KVM: VMX: fix SMEP and SMAP without EPT to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11-ckt31. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From d9de113887b77d2cc3817904f8a2b027dee9f217 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Radim=20Kr=C4=8Dm=C3=A1=C5=99?= <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2015 22:20:00 +0100 Subject: KVM: VMX: fix SMEP and SMAP without EPT MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 656ec4a4928a3db7d16e5cb9bce351a478cfd3d5 upstream. The comment in code had it mostly right, but we enable paging for emulated real mode regardless of EPT. Without EPT (which implies emulated real mode), secondary VCPUs won't start unless we disable SM[AE]P when the guest doesn't use paging.
