From cbd88c8e6f5cdb8d4b9af01df825305200240382 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2009 10:06:22 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] lguest: fix crash 'unhandled trap 13 at ' Impact: fix lguest boot crash on modern Intel machines The code in early_init_intel does: if (c->x86 > 6 || (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model >= 0xd)) { u64 misc_enable; rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE, misc_enable); And that rdmsr faults (not allowed from non-0 PL). We can get around this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid. 5 seems like a good number. Of course, this is a hack (how very lguest!). We could just indicate that we don't support MSRs, or implement lguest_rdmst.
