From 789e6ac0a7cbbb38402293256a295302fd8a1100 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Amsden Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2006 23:29:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] paravirt: update pte hook Add a pte_update_hook which notifies about pte changes that have been made without using the set_pte / clear_pte interfaces. This allows shadow mode hypervisors which do not trap on page table access to maintain synchronized shadows. It also turns out, there was one pte update in PAE mode that wasn't using any accessor interface at all for setting NX protection. Considering it is PAE specific, and the accessor is i386 specific, I didn't want to add a generic encapsulation of this behavior yet.
