[PATCH 31/46] KVM: SVM: Skip instruction on a task switch only when appropriate

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Wed May 20 2009 - 07:25:53 EST


From: Gleb Natapov <gleb@xxxxxxxxxx>

If a task switch was initiated because off a task gate in IDT and IDT
was accessed because of an external even the instruction should not
be skipped.
