2019-12-03 Thread Igor Druzhinin
If the feature is not present Xen will try to force X86_BUG_FPU_PTRS feature at CPU identification time. This is especially noticeable in PV-shim that usually hotplugs its vCPUs. We either need to restrict this action for boot CPU only or allow secondary CPUs to modify forced CPU capabilities at
