Subject: [PATCH] x86, amd: Check X86_FEATURE_OSVW bit before accessing OSVW MSRs
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2010 12:13:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100427101348.GC4489@alberich.amd.com> (raw)
If host CPU is exposed to a guest the OSVW MSRs are not guaranteed
to be present and a GP fault occurs. Thus checking the feature flag is
essential.
