From: Paolo Bonzini <[email protected]> 3.4.108-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ commit 4ff6f8e61eb7f96d3ca535c6d240f863ccd6fb7d upstream. This has been broken for a long time: it broke first in 2.6.35, then was almost fixed in 2.6.36 but this one-liner slipped through the cracks. The bug shows up as an infinite loop in Windows 7 (and newer) boot on 32-bit hosts without EPT. Windows uses CMPXCHG8B to write to page tables, which causes a page fault if running without EPT; the emulator is then called from kvm_mmu_page_fault. The loop then happens if the higher 4 bytes are not 0; the common case for this is that the NX bit (bit 63) is 1.
