[PATCH v4 1/9] KVM: nVMX: Use kvm_set_msr to load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL on vmexit

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

 



The existing implementation for loading the IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR
on VM-exit was incorrect, as the next call to atomic_switch_perf_msrs()
could cause this value to be overwritten. Instead, call kvm_set_msr()
which will allow atomic_switch_perf_msrs() to correctly set the values.
