[ 078/100] x86/kvm: Fix pvclock vsyscall fixmap

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 12 2013 - 18:41:39 EST


3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Hurley <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3d2a80a230250c2534ce5b17503670adaf1d7fff upstream.

The physical memory fixmapped for the pvclock clock_gettime vsyscall
was allocated, and thus is not a kernel symbol. __pa() is the proper
method to use in this case.

Fixes the crash below when booting a next-20130204+ smp guest on a
3.8-rc5+ KVM host.
