[PATCH 1/3] x86/fred: Install system vector handlers even if FRED isn't fully enabled

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Install the system vector IRQ handlers for FRED even if FRED isn't fully
enabled in hardware.  This will allow KVM to use the FRED IRQ path even
on non-FRED hardware, which in turn will eliminate a non-CFI indirect CALL
(KVM currently invokes the IRQ handler via an IDT lookup on the vector).
