Revision b677dfae5aa197afc5191755a76a8727ffca538a authored by Wei Huang on 04 January 2019, 05:44:11 UTC, committed by Thomas Gleixner on 29 January 2019, 20:58:59 UTC
In some old AMD KVM implementation, guest's EFER.LME bit is cleared by KVM
when the hypervsior detects that the guest sets CR0.PG to 0. This causes
the guest OS to reboot when it tries to return from 32-bit trampoline code
because the CPU is in incorrect state: CR4.PAE=1, CR0.PG=1, CS.L=1, but
EFER.LME=0.  As a precaution, set EFER.LME=1 as part of long mode
activation procedure. This extra step won't cause any harm when Linux is
booted on a bare-metal machine.
