[PATCH kvm-unit-tests 2/3] x86: Test rflags.rf is set upon faults

From: Nadav Amit
Date: Mon Jul 21 2014 - 07:41:12 EST


This patch tests whether rflags.rf is set upon #UD and #GP faults as it should,
according to Intel SDM 17.3.1.1. The patch saves rflags.rf in an unused bit of
the value which is saved during exception handling to save rflags.rf.
