During a page table walk of TCG+SVM the code in target/i386/excp_helper.c
get_hphys() uses the cr4 register of the guest instead of the hypervisor
to check for the PSE bit. In the test case we have, the guest have not
enabled (yet) the PSE bit and so the page table walk results in a wrong
host physical address resolution and wrong content read by the guest.
Attached patch is against 4.2.1, but works also on 3.1.0. It fixes the
issue for our automated testcase, which is a 32bit hypervisor w/o PAE
support running a guest VM with tcg+svm.
The test worked beforehand up to qemu 2.12, started to fail with qemu 3.0
and later. The added TCG/SVM NPT commit seems to introduce the regression.
In case someone want to try to reproduce it, the iso is at [0], the good
case is [1] and the failing case is [2]. The used commandline is:
qemu-system-i386 -no-kvm -nographic -cpu phenom -m 512 -machine q35 -cdrom seoul-vmm-test.iso
