[PATCH 0/3] Infinite loops in microcode while running guests

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

 



Yes, these can happen.  The issue is that benign exceptions are
delivered serially, but two of them (#DB and #AC) can also happen
during exception delivery itself.  The subsequent infinite stream
of exceptions causes the processor to never exit guest mode.
