[PATCH 3.8 stable] x86/kvm: Fix pvclock vsyscall fixmap

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

 



From: Peter Hurley <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The physical memory fixmapped for the pvclock clock_gettime vsyscall
was allocated, and thus is not a kernel symbol. __pa() is the proper
method to use in this case.

Fixes the crash below when booting a next-20130204+ smp guest on a
3.8-rc5+ KVM host.
