Subject: [PATCH] xen/x86: Don't try to write syscall-related MSRs for PV guests
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2015 09:09:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442840968-23052-1-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> (raw)
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.
