[patch 19/48] KVM: set debug registers after "schedulable" section

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Sep 04 2009 - 16:20:39 EST



2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit 29415c37f043d1d54dcf356601d738ff6633b72b)

The vcpu thread can be preempted after the guest_debug_pre() callback,
resulting in invalid debug registers on the new vcpu.

Move it inside the non-preemptable section.
