[PATCH 3.2 05/87] KVM: x86: expose MSR_TSC_AUX to userspace
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Feb 08 2016 - 19:25:50 EST
3.2.77-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9dbe6cf941a6fe82933aef565e4095fb10f65023 upstream.
If we do not do this, it is not properly saved and restored across
migration. Windows notices due to its self-protection mechanisms,
and is very upset about it (blue screen of death).

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
- We didn't yet have the switch() in kvm_init_msr_list as MPX is not
supported at all
- Adjust context]
