KVM: x86: do not retain disabled or invalid pvclock address

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

 



In case an invalid or disabled gpa is written to the SYSTEM_TIME
MSR, do not retain its value. This is not documented behaviour, 
nor should be supported.

Also clear it on system reset. Not doing so can hide bugs.
