Re: [Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH] AMD OSVW (OS Visible Workaround) for Xen



Thanks very much. I don't think 4.0.1 needs this patch.

This path enables AMD OSVW (OS Visible Workaround) feature for Xen. New
AMD errata will have a OSVW id assigned in the future. OS is supposed to
check OSVW status MSR to find out whether CPU has a specific erratum.
Legacy errata are also supported in this patch: traditional
family/model/stepping approach will be used if OSVW feature isn't
applicable.  This patch is adapted from Hans Rosenfeld's patch submitted
to Linux kernel .

Applied to xen-unstable. Is this for 4.0.1 also? It is a big patch and it
doesn't say it actually fixes any issues...
