Subject: [PATCH v9 1/2] x86/kexec: VMCLEAR VMCSs loaded on all cpus if necessary
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 11:26:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <50B432CA.70804@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <50B43299.9030409@cn.fujitsu.com>

This patch provides a way to VMCLEAR VMCSs related to guests
on all cpus before executing the VMXOFF when doing kdump. This
is used to ensure the VMCSs in the vmcore updated and
non-corrupted.
