[PATCH v2 11/21] KVM: Rework of guest debug state writing

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

 



So far we synchronized any dirty VCPU state back into the kernel before
updating the guest debug state. This was a tribute to a deficite in x86
kernels before 2.6.33. But as this is an arch-dependent issue, it is
better handle in the x86 part of KVM and remove the writeback point for
generic code.
