[PATCH] KVM: x86: Explicitly zero-initialize on-stack CPUID unions
Posted by Sean Christopherson 9 months, 1 week ago
Explicitly zero/empty-initialize the unions used for PMU related CPUID
entries, instead of manually zeroing all fields (hopefully), or in the
case of 0x80000022, relying on the compiler to clobber the uninitialized
bitfields.
