Find data which allows you to differentiate between hotplug of pCPU-0 and system initialization. Easy one: whether MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME_NEW contains valid data (that is kvmclock is enabled) for vCPUs other than vCPU-0. This can't be the case on system initialization (otherwise the host will be corrupting guest memory), and must be the case when hotplugging vCPU-0. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
