Message-Id: <1442840968-23052-1-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2015 09:09:28 -0400 From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@...cle.com> To: konrad.wilk@...cle.com, david.vrabel@...rix.com Cc: xen-devel@...ts.xenproject.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, boris.ostrovsky@...cle.com Subject: [PATCH] xen/x86: Don't try to write syscall-related MSRs for PV guests For PV guests these registers are set up by hypervisor and thus should not be written by the guest. The comment in xen_write_msr_safe() says so but we still write the MSRs, causing the hypervisor to print a warning.
