Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86-32: Rework cache flush denied handler
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2010 09:00:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1269176446-2489-2-git-send-email-brgerst@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1269176446-2489-1-git-send-email-brgerst@gmail.com>
The cache flush denied error is an erratum on some AMD 486 clones. If an invd
instruction is executed in userspace, the processor calls exception 19 (13 hex)
instead of #GP (13 decimal). On cpus where XMM is not supported, redirect
exception 19 to do_general_protection(). Also, remove die_if_kernel(), since
this was the last user.
