[Qemu-devel] [PATCH-4.2 v1 1/6] target/riscv: Don't set write permission


From: Alistair Francis
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH-4.2 v1 1/6] target/riscv: Don't set write permissions on dirty PTEs
Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2019 11:52:01 -0700

Setting write permission on dirty PTEs results in userspace inside a
Hypervisor guest (VU) becoming corrupted. This appears to be becuase it
ends up with write permission in the second stage translation in cases
where we aren't doing a store.
