From 226f1f729ce277720fab60c91dd1b12574cfe66c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 22:42:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] selftests/x86: Add a fork() to entry_from_vm86 to catch fork bugs Mere possession of vm86 state is strange. Make sure that nothing gets corrupted if we fork after calling vm86().
