      [PATCH] x86: fix PDA variables to work during boot · 9ee79a3d
      James Bottomley authored 
      The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it
doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA,
the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA.

The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but
everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id.  The basically kills
voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so
voyager currently won't boot without this.

The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

      [PATCH] vmx: Fix register constraint in launch code · e0015489
      Herbert Xu authored 
      Both "=r" and "=g" breaks my build on i386:

  $ make
    CC [M]  drivers/kvm/vmx.o
  {standard input}: Assembler messages:
  {standard input}:3318: Error: bad register name `%sil'
  make[1]: *** [drivers/kvm/vmx.o] Error 1
  make: *** [_module_drivers/kvm] Error 2

The reason is that setbe requires an 8-bit register but "=r" does not
constrain the target register to be one that has an 8-bit version on
i386.

According to

	http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10153

the correct constraint is "=q".
