(For anyone reading this who isn't familiar with the history, http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=blob;f=xen/arch/x86/cpuid.c;h=d359e090f33bb5793524186dc5f1c8bb620f17b3;hb=17cd6621688bce9972d9242611114fd7aba44c31#l726 ought to cover it) In the presence of the bugs which caused this issue in the first place, the best way to probe whether xsave is actually available is to try and execute an xgetbv instruction, and use #UD as a signal that support isn't actually available. This also avoids Linux participating in the non-architectural behaviour of forcing OXSAVE to be something other than a reflection of CR4. ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
