[PATCHv2] KVM: handle exit due to INVD in VMX

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

 



Currently the exit is unhandled, so guest halts with error if it tries
to execute INVD instruction. Call into emulator when INVD instruction
is executed by a guest instead. This instruction is not needed by ordinary
guests, but firmware (like OpenBIOS) use it and fail.
