Subject: [PATCH] [REPOST]: Fake emulate Intel perfctr MSRs
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 09:14:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <485A0772.1050606@redhat.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 446 bytes --]

Attached is a patch for fake emulating Intel perfctr MSRs, similar to the recent
patch to fake emulate the AMD perfctr MSRs.  This is needed for a reason similar
for the previous patch; older linux guests (in this case, 2.6.9) can attempt to
access the MSR's without a fixup section, and injecting a GPF kills the guest.
Tested by me on RHEL-4 i386 and x86_64 guests, as well as F-9 guests.
