[PATCH 08/35] Synchronize VCPU states before reset

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

 



From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This is required to support keeping VCPU states across a system reset.
If we do not read the current state before the reset,
cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset may write back incorrect state
information.

The first user of this will be MCE MSR synchronization which currently
works around the missing cpu_synchronize_all_states.
