[PATCH 3/3] KVM: x86: Snapshot the host's DEBUGCTL after disabling IRQs

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

 



Snapshot the host's DEBUGCTL after disabling IRQs, as perf can toggle
debugctl bits from IRQ context, e.g. when enabling/disabling events via
smp_call_function_single().  Taking the snapshot (long) before IRQs are
disabled could result in KVM effectively clobbering DEBUGCTL due to using
a stale snapshot.
