From 48005f64d0ea965d454e38b5181af4aba9bdef5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kiszka Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:38:07 +0100 Subject: KVM: x86: Save&restore interrupt shadow mask The interrupt shadow created by STI or MOV-SS-like operations is part of the VCPU state and must be preserved across migration. Transfer it in the spare padding field of kvm_vcpu_events.interrupt. As a side effect we now have to make vmx_set_interrupt_shadow robust against both shadow types being set. Give MOV SS a higher priority and skip STI in that case to avoid that VMX throws a fault on next entry.
