The patch titled
kvm: fix calculation of initial value of rdx register
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kvm-fix-calculation-of-initial-value-of-rdx-register.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into kvm-userspace-interface.patch
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kvm: fix calculation of initial value of rdx register
From: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
On bootup, the rdx register contains information about the processor. The
function which calculates this value has the bugs:
- missing 'cpuid' to get the value from the processor
- missing register clobber caused a miscompilation in some circumstances
- we shouldn't return a value that depends on the current processor in
case we migrate
In any case nobody looks at the value, so just return a generic P6
identifier.
Thanks to Christian Hesse <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> for debugging help.
