about the HOST_CR3

[mengxp(孟学政)]

hi,

I found a line in vmx.c like this

VmxVmcsWrite(HOST_CR3, host_cr3);

and the host_cr3 is allocated and initialized by function
mmu.c:MmuInit()

this function only copy the PDE to a new one

and we setup HOST_CR3

i'm confused that is this work necessary ?

can we set like this

VmxVmcsWrite(HOST_CR3, RegGetCr3());

It seems that when i change the line to VmxVmcsWrite(HOST_CR3,
RegGetCr3());
my ubuntu will die after insmod hcore.ko

why???

Hi,

that part is still a work in progress and it is buggy, I have a fix
for it but I tested it only on windows so I didn't commit it yet. Feel
free to disable it by setting *pcr3 = cr3 and returning
HVM_STATUS_SUCCESSFUL.

Cheers,
Aristide
