If a host watchdog Xen or dom0 is in use, this can lead to a watchdog timeout and consequently a reboot of the hos...

x86: CPU lockup during exception delivery

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When a benign exception occurs while delivering another benign exception, it is architecturally specified that these would be delivered sequentially. There are, however, cases where this results in an infinite loop inside the CPU, which in the virtualized case can be broken only...
