Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the context switch logic Xen attempts to skip an IBPB in the case of<br />
a vCPU returning to a CPU on which it was the previous vCPU to run.<br />
While safe for Xen&#39;s isolation between vCPUs, this prevents the guest<br />
kernel correctly isolating between tasks. Consider:<br />
<br />
1) vCPU runs on CPU A, running task 1.<br />
2) vCPU moves to CPU B, idle gets scheduled on A. Xen skips IBPB.<br />
3) On CPU B, guest kernel switches from task 1 to 2, issuing IBPB.<br />
4) vCPU moves back to CPU A. Xen skips IBPB again.<br />
<br />
Now, task 2 is running on CPU A with task 1&#39;s training still in the BTB.
