Subject: [PATCH] x86, kvm: Clear paravirt_enabled on KVM guests for espfix32's
|
|
|
|
|
benefit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paravirt_enabled has the following effects:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Disables the F00F bug workaround warning. There is no F00F bug
|
|
|
|
|
workaround any more because Linux's standard IDT handling already
|
|
|
|
|
works around the F00F bug, but the warning still exists. This
|
|
|
|
|
is only cosmetic, and, in any event, there is no such thing as
|
|
|
|
|
KVM on a CPU with the F00F bug.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Disables 32-bit APM BIOS detection. On a KVM paravirt system,
|
|
|
|
|
there should be no APM BIOS anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Disables tboot. I think that the tboot code should check the
|
|
|
|
|
CPUID hypervisor bit directly if it matters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- paravirt_enabled disables espfix32. espfix32 should *not* be
|
|
|
|
|
disabled under KVM paravirt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The last point is the purpose of this patch. It fixes a leak of the
|
|
|
|
|
high 16 bits of the kernel stack address on 32-bit KVM paravirt
|
|
|
|
|
guests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While I'm at it, this removes pv_info setup from kvmclock. That
|
|
|
|
|
code seems to serve no purpose.
