Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: expose MSR_TSC_AUX to userspace
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2015 14:49:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447336157-3122-2-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1447336157-3122-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com>
If we do not do this, it is not properly saved and restored across
migration. Windows notices due to its self-protection mechanisms,
and is very upset about it (blue screen of death).
