Subject: [PATCH 26/35] x86: KVM guest: disable clock before rebooting.
Date: Thu,  3 Apr 2008 22:32:41 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1207251170-5013-27-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1207251170-5013-1-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com>

From: Glauber Costa <gcosta@redhat.com>

This patch writes 0 (actually, what really matters is that the
LSB is cleared) to the system time msr before shutting down
the machine for kexec.

Without it, we can have a random memory location being written
when the guest comes back

It overrides the functions shutdown, used in the path of kernel_kexec() (sys.c)
and crash_shutdown, used in the path of crash_kexec() (kexec.c)
