Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Improvements for task switching
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:06:51 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20090312T170331-256@post.gmane.org> (raw)

NSN's proprietary OS DMX sometimes does task switches.
To get it running in KVM the following changes were necessary:
Interrupt injection only with interrupt flag set.
Linking the tss->prev_task_link to itself removed.
Task linking is required for CALL and GATE.
Do not call skip_emulated_instruction() for GATE.
