Hi Everyone,

I am trying to use the MSR load and store areas in vmx. I did following:

1. Setting vm_entry_msr_load_count:

vmcs_write32(VM_ENTRY_MSR_LOAD_COUNT, 1);

2. Setting up vm_entry_msr_load_addr :

static struct page *vmx_msr_load;

Then in vmx_init() :

vmx_msr_load = alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_HIGHMEM);

Don't use highmem for pages you give to vmx -- some implementations only support 32-bit physical addresses.

va=kmap(vmx_msr_load);
memset(va, MSR_P6_PERFCTR0, 32);  /*Bits 31:0 contain msr's address*/

This doesn't do what you think it does. Look at the resulting memory pattern. Use ordinary assignment instead.
