KVM: VMX: Atomically switch efer if EPT && !EFER.NX
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When EPT is enabled, we cannot emulate EFER.NX=0 through the shadow page
tables.  This causes accesses through ptes with bit 63 set to succeed instead
of failing a reserved bit check.
