It would seem to me that this feature should be disabled at most in unprivileged kernels... Thanks, Jan How do you mean? Looking at xen-unstable, we clear CR4_DE at the same point as native linux (i.e., we haven't changed code relating to that control flag at all). It's not a debug-feature-enable flag anyway -- more a backwards-compatibility flag for accesses to defunct debug registers dr4 and dr5. It's pretty unimportant. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
