Message-ID: <20111004213513.GA2614@elgon.mountain> (raw)
This patch causes a NULL dereference for me when I start qemu.

Here is the code listing from gdb:

0xc3d3 is in update_cpuid (arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:618).
613 }

615 if (boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor == X86_VENDOR_INTEL &&
616 best->function == 0x1) {
617 best->ecx |= bit(X86_FEATURE_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER);
618 vcpu->arch.apic->lapic_timer.timer_mode_mask = (3 << 17);
619 } else
620 vcpu->arch.apic->lapic_timer.timer_mode_mask = (1 << 17);
621 }
622
(gdb)
Reverting the patch fixes things for me. I'm using linux-next from
Friday.
