  [PATCH 4.2 048/124] kvm: x86: zero EFER on INIT Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> - 2015-12-07 17:00 +0100

#1285681 — [PATCH 4.2 048/124] kvm: x86: zero EFER on INIT

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

commit 5690891bcec5fcfda38da974ffa5488e36a59811 upstream.

Not zeroing EFER means that a 32-bit firmware cannot enter paging mode
without clearing EFER.LME first (which it should not know about).
Yang Zhang from Intel confirmed that the manual is wrong and EFER is
cleared to zero on INIT.

Fixes: d28bc9dd25ce023270d2e039e7c98d38ecbf7758
