x86/reboot: Disable virtualization in an emergency if SVM is supported
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Disable SVM on all CPUs via NMI shootdown during an emergency reboot.
Like VMX, SVM can block INIT, e.g. if the emergency reboot is triggered
between CLGI and STGI, and thus can prevent bringing up other CPUs via
INIT-SIPI-SIPI.
