[ Upstream commit ed290e1c20da19fa100a3e0f421aa31b65984960 ]
Though gcc conveniently compiles a simple memset to "rep stos," clang
prefers to call the libc version of memset. If a test is dynamically
linked, the libc memset isn't available in L1 (nor is the PLT or the
GOT, for that matter). Even if the test is statically linked, the libc
memset may choose to use some CPU features, like AVX, which may not be
enabled in L1. Note that __builtin_memset doesn't solve the problem,
because (a) the compiler is free to call memset anyway, and (b)
__builtin_memset may also choose to use features like AVX, which may
not be available in L1.
To avoid a myriad of problems, use an explicit "rep stos" to clear the
VMCB in generic_svm_setup(), which is called both from L0 and L1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
