[PATCH v3] target/i386: add compat for migrating error code
Posted by Fiona Ebner 3 weeks, 6 days ago
If cpu->env.has_error_code is true, backwards migration of a VM from
a QEMU binary with commit 27535e9cca to a QEMU binary without commit
27535e9cca will fail:

> kvm: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'cpu'

In practice, wrongly setting the error code to 0 on the target is
often unproblematic, so additionally checking error_code != 0 in
cpu_errcode_needed() is not enough to mitigate the issue. Instead, add
proper machine version compat handling.
