From 98fb4e5e6b100a247ce2dbf2d1699726fdcdef20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2013 17:45:53 +0930 Subject: lguest: fix guest kernel stack overflow when TF bit set. The symptoms are that running gdb on a binary causes the guest to overflow the kernels stack (after some period of time), resulting in it finally being killed with a "Bad address" message.
