[kvm-unit-tests PATCH 03/14] x86: msr: Advertise GenuineIntel as vendor to play nice with SYSENTER

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

 



Run msr.flat as vendor GenuineIntel so that KVM SVM will intercept
SYSENTER_ESP and SYSENTER_EIP in order to preserve bits 63:32.
Alternatively, this could be handled in the test, but fudging the
config is easier and it also adds coverage for KVM's aforementioned
emulation.
