commit 0dd4cdccdab3d74bd86b868768a7dca216bcce7e upstream. We recently experienced some weird huge time jumps in nested guests when rebooting them in certain cases. After adding some debug code to the epoch handling in vsie.c (thanks to David Hildenbrand for the idea!), it was obvious that the "epdx" field (the multi-epoch extension) did not get set to 0xff in case the "epoch" field was negative. Seems like the code misses to copy the value from the epdx field from the guest to the shadow control block. By doing so, the weird time jumps are gone in our scenarios.

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.
