[PATCH] Restore guest CR after exit timing calculation

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

 



No instruction which can change Condition Register (CR) should be executed after Guest CR is loaded. So the guest CR is restored after the Exit Timing in lightweight_exit executes cmpw, which can clobber CR.
