Subject: [PATCH 4/4] make sure kvm_vpu_init is the last thing called in cpu initialization
Date: Tue, 26 May 2009 17:33:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1243373581-18085-5-git-send-email-glommer@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1243373581-18085-4-git-send-email-glommer@redhat.com>
KVM access some state that is only present late in cpu initialization.
This happens in kvm_vcpu_init(). APIC is an example of that.
So we have to make sure that kvm_vcpu_init is the last thing called
in the initialization process.
We also have to explicitly call qemu_kvm_load_apic(), since the
first call will find the vcpu non initialized.
