Subject: [patch] KVM: always reload segment selectors
Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2007 13:52:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070311125233.GA17328@elte.hu> (raw)

Subject: [patch] KVM: always reload segment selectors
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

failed VM entry on VMX might still change %fs or %gs, thus make sure 
that KVM always reloads the segment selectors. This is crutial on both 
x86 and x86_64: x86 has __KERNEL_PDA in %fs on which things like 
'current' depends and x86_64 has 0 there and needs MSR_GS_BASE to work.
