From 9900aa2f95844eb81428c1d3d202c01b7f3ac77a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:16:49 -0700 Subject: x86-64: Handle exception table entries during early boot If we get an exception during early boot, walk the exception table to see if we should intercept it. The main use case for this is to allow rdmsr_safe()/wrmsr_safe() during CPU initialization. Since the exception table is currently sorted at runtime, and fairly late in startup, this code walks the exception table linearly. We obviously don't need to worry about modules, however: none have been loaded at this point. [ v2: Use early_fixup_exception() instead of linear search ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1334794610-5546-5-git-send-email-hpa@zytor.com Signed-off-by: H.
