[PATCH] KVM: Improvements for task switching

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
