Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Fix host userspace gsbase corruption
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 12:37:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1289471846-2055-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
We now use load_gs_index() to load gs safely; unfortunately this also
changes MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, which we managed separately. This resulted
in confusion and breakage running 32-bit host userspace on a 64-bit kernel.
Fix by
- saving guest MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE before we we reload the host's gs
- doing the host save/load unconditionally, instead of only when in guest
long mode
Things can be cleaned up further, but this is the minmal fix for now.
