[PATCH 2/5] KVM: Do not export unsupported msrs to userspace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Michael Riepe <[email protected]>

Some msrs, such as MSR_STAR, are not available on all processors.  Exporting
them causes qemu to try to fetch them, which will fail.

So, check all msrs for validity at module load time.
