From: Jan Beulich Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 12:36:52 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86/HVM: hvmemul_cmpxchg() should also use known_gla() X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2262e808f4665bee820b5bb536aff47e560bdcc3;p=people%2Froyger%2Fxen.git x86/HVM: hvmemul_cmpxchg() should also use known_gla() To be consistent with the write and rmw cases the mapping approach should not be used when the guest linear address translation is known. This in particular excludes the discard-write case from bypassing the emulation path. This also means that now EFLAGS should actually get properly updated, despite the discarded write portion of the memory access.
