This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled xen/bootup: allow {read|write}_cr8 pvops call. to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.yuz extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.yuz tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From 78de8ab75b5ec09736563fdb5907ee35dd5d4b80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:25:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] xen/bootup: allow {read|write}_cr8 pvops call. commit 1a7bbda5b1ab0e02622761305a32dc38735b90b2 upstream. We actually do not do anything about it. Just return a default value of zero and if the kernel tries to write anything but 0 we BUG_ON. This fixes the case when an user tries to suspend the machine and it blows up in save_processor_state b/c 'read_cr8' is set to NULL and we get: kernel BUG at /home/konrad/ssd/linux/arch/x86/include/asm/paravirt.h:100! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Pid: 2687, comm: init.late Tainted: G O 3.6.0upstream-00002-gac264ac-dirty #4 Bochs Bochs RIP: e030:[<ffffffff814d5f42>] [<ffffffff814d5f42>] save_processor_state+0x212/0x270 .. snip..
