Yap, sounds like you marked a bisection step incorrectly, which lead into the wrong direction. How reliable is your reproducer? Also, do the bisection as Paolo suggested: * try 45bdbcfdf241. * then do $ git bisect start v4.5-rc1 v4.4 which marks -rc1 as bad and 4.4 as good. While you're doing that bisect, do what Paolo said by applying the diff here https://lkml.kernel.org/r/570EADD2.8030300@xxxxxxxxxx when the bisection point you're at at each step contains 46896c73c1a4 ("KVM: svm: add support for RDTSCP") You should apply the above hunk by doing $ patch -p1 --dry-run -i /tmp/hunk If it applies fine, you then apply it $ patch -p1 -i /tmp/hunk All clear? If not, do not hesitate to ask. Thanks -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
