What is the problem you are seeing?  KVM can emulate task switches; the
intercept is set here because of a processor erratum that can mess them

See old thread:

Can you obtain the traces you were asked for at the time?

./trace-cmd record -b 20000 -e kvm
./trace-cmd report | grep -i task_switch
qemu-system-x86-6024 [001] 792774.719297: kvm_exit: reason task_switch rip 0x4883 info 158 4000000000

But I can't interpret it. But I know my patch works well. Since it is just a module parameter it is fully backward compatible by default and because of the one liner no side effects are possible. So a intergration would be good.

Ciao,
Gerhard
