Subject[PATCH] KVM: x86: always set accessed bit in shadow PTEs
Date
Commit 7a1638ce4220 ("nEPT: Redefine EPT-specific link_shadow_page()",
2013-08-05) says:

Since nEPT doesn't support A/D bit, we should not set those bit
when building the shadow page table.

but this is not necessary. Even though nEPT doesn't support A/D
bits, and hence the vmcs12 EPT pointer will never enable them,
we always use them for shadow page tables if available (see
construct_eptp in vmx.c). So we can set the A/D bits freely
in the shadow page table.

This patch hence basically reverts commit 7a1638ce4220.
