Hi Pedro, 2017-10-24 19:10 GMT+08:00 Pedro Fonseca <pfonseca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: Could you try v2 https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg157668.html and give your Tested-by to v2 if it pass your testing? Regards, Wanpeng Li > Hi, > > During tests that we conducted on KVM, we noticed that executing a "PUSH > %ES" instruction under KVM produces different results on both memory and the > SP register depending on whether EPT support is enabled. With EPT the SP is > reduced by 4 bytes (and the written value is 0-padded) but without EPT > support it is only reduced by 2 bytes.
