Re: [kvm-unit-tests PATCH v4 08/13] x86: efi: Provide percpu storage

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

 



Writing to MSR_IA32_APICBASE in reset_apic() is an
intercepted operation and causes #VC exception when the test is launched as
an SEV-ES guest.

So calling reset_apic() before IDT is set up in setup_idt() and
load_idt() might cause problems. Similarly if accessing _percpu_data
array element in setup_segments64() results in a page fault,
this will lead to a double fault.

Hence move reset_apic() call and percpu data setup after
setup_idt() and load_idt().
