Message-Id: <1243180230-2480-16-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> Date: Sun, 24 May 2009 18:50:00 +0300 From: Avi Kivity <avi@...hat.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: kvm@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 15/45] KVM: SVM: Fix cross vendor migration issue in segment segment descriptor From: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@....com> On AMD CPUs sometimes the DB bit in the stack segment descriptor is left as 1, although the whole segment has been made unusable. Clear it here to pass an Intel VMX entry check when cross vendor migrating.
