Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: move steal time initialization to vcpu entry time
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:33:09 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151014223309.GA13900@amt.cnet> (raw)


As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1494350, 
it is possible to have vcpu->arch.st.last_steal initialized 
from a thread other than vcpu thread, say the iothread, via 
KVM_SET_MSRS.

Which can cause an overflow later (when subtracting from vcpu threads
sched_info.run_delay).

To avoid that, move steal time accumulation to vcpu entry time, 
before copying steal time data to guest.
