[PATCH v3 05/10] KVM: x86: Restrict writeback of VCPU state

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

 



Do not write nmi_pending, sipi_vector, and mpstate unless we at least go
through a reset. And TSC as well as KVM wallclocks should only be
written on full sync, otherwise we risk to drop some time on during
state read-modify-write.
