From a9b21b622958afc3f3bc5a23d266dd9ed1171fd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:48:49 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Fix host msr corruption with preemption enabled Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall. Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr switching during bootup.
