Subject: [patch] KVM: fix hypercall cache/decache
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 09:54:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070320085427.GA21948@elte.hu> (raw)

Subject: [patch] KVM: fix hypercall cache/decache
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo-X9Un+BFzKDI@public.gmane.org>

a recent change to kvm_hypercall() flipped around the order of 
->cache_regs() and ->decache_regs(), but that is bogus and causes 
ESP/RIP corruption: ->cache_regs() will 'cache' the CPU-side registers 
into the vcpu structure, and ->decache_regs() will sync it back to the 
CPU.

fix this by using the correct order again.
