From f1c1da2bde712812a3e0f9a7a7ebe7a916a4b5f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kiszka Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2011 18:23:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Keep intercepting task switching with NPT enabled AMD processors apparently have a bug in the hardware task switching support when NPT is enabled. If the task switch triggers a NPF, we can get wrong EXITINTINFO along with that fault. On resume, spurious exceptions may then be injected into the guest. We were able to reproduce this bug when our guest triggered #SS and the handler were supposed to run over a separate task with not yet touched stack pages. Work around the issue by continuing to emulate task switches even in NPT mode.
