[PATCH 23/35] kvm: x86: Reset paravirtual MSRs

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

 



From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Make sure to write the cleared MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME, MSR_KVM_WALL_CLOCK,
and MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN to the kernel state so that a freshly booted
guest cannot be disturbed by old values.
