Subject: x86: KVM guest: disable clock before rebooting.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~1028^2~81
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e977aa12dd4f80688b1f243762212e75c6d7fe8;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

x86: KVM guest: disable clock before rebooting.

This patch writes 0 (actually, what really matters is that the
LSB is cleared) to the system time msr before shutting down
the machine for kexec.

Without it, we can have a random memory location being written
when the guest comes back

It overrides the functions shutdown, used in the path of kernel_kexec() (sys.c)
and crash_shutdown, used in the path of crash_kexec() (kexec.c)
