[ Upstream commit ed290e1c20 ]
Though gcc conveniently compiles a simple memset to "rep stos," clang
prefers to call the libc version of memset. If a test is dynamically
linked, the libc memset isn't available in L1 (nor is the PLT or the
GOT, for that matter). Even if the test is statically linked, the libc
memset may choose to use some CPU features, like AVX, which may not be
enabled in L1. Note that __builtin_memset doesn't solve the problem,
because (a) the compiler is free to call memset anyway, and (b)
__builtin_memset may also choose to use features like AVX, which may
not be available in L1.
To avoid a myriad of problems, use an explicit "rep stos" to clear the
VMCB in generic_svm_setup(), which is called both from L0 and L1.
