From 0e8a09969afb56b6bcdfe159f90a5fa20f831e85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nadav Amit Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2014 01:10:02 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Clear DR7.LE during task-switch MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit DR7.LE should be cleared during task-switch. This feature is poorly documented. For reference, see: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2005/readings/i386/s12_02.htm SDM [17.2.4]: This feature is not supported in the P6 family processors, later IA-32 processors, and Intel 64 processors. AMD [2:13.1.1.4]: This bit is ignored by implementations of the AMD64 architecture. Intel's formulation could mean that it isn't even zeroed, but current hardware indeed does not behave like that.
