Subject: kdump: forcibly disable VMX and SVM on machine_crash_shutdown()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2340b62f77c782c305e6ae7748675a638436d1ef;p=linux-beck.git

kdump: forcibly disable VMX and SVM on machine_crash_shutdown()

We need to disable virtualization extensions on all CPUs before booting
the kdump kernel, otherwise the kdump kernel booting will fail, and
rebooting after the kdump kernel did its task may also fail.

We do it using cpu_emergency_vmxoff() and cpu_emergency_svm_disable(),
that should always work, because those functions check if the CPUs
support SVM or VMX before doing their tasks.
