If KVM cannot find an exact match for a requested CPUID leaf, the code will try to find the closest match instead of simply confessing it's failure. The implementation was meant to satisfy the CPUID specification, but did not properly check for extended and standard leaves and also didn't account for the index subleaf. Beside that this rule only applies to CPUID intercepts, which is not the only user of the kvm_find_cpuid_entry() function. So fix this algorithm and call it from kvm_emulate_cpuid(). This fixes a crash of newer Linux kernels as KVM guests on AMD Bulldozer CPUs, where bogus values were returned in response to a CPUID intercept.
Thanks, applied and queued both for 2.6.39. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
