Hi Avi,
In the kvm/next branch, sparse warns about
arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c:232 writeback_registers() error: buffer overflow 'ctxt->_regs' 9 <= 15
This is because the array definition is ctxt._regs[NR_VCPU_REGS] where
NR_VCPU_REGS=9 for i386 and 17 for x86_64.
It could be fixed by changing the hard coded 16 to (NR_VCPU_REGS-1).
Hi Fengguang,
You replaced 16 to NR_VCPU_REGS in your patch, not (NR_VCPU_REGS-1).
I guess it's a mistake in your commitlog, right?
And I wonder whether you actually want NR_VCPU_REGS here?
Thanks,
Fengguang
