[PATCH 5/9] KVM: x86: cmpxchg emulation should compare in reverse order

From: Nadav Amit
Date: Mon Jun 02 2014 - 11:36:50 EST


The current implementation of cmpxchg does not update the flags correctly,
since the accumulator should be compared with the destination and not the other
way around. The current implementation does not update the flags correctly.
