Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/msr: Set the return value to zero when native_rdmsr_safe fails
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:11:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e0dcc9cbd1437429da9ff01b6bc016ec3794d9af.1442523997.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1442523997.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1442523997.git.luto@kernel.org>

This will cause unchecked native_rdmsr_safe failures to return
deterministic results.

We could poison the results with something other than zero, but that
would increase code size.
