[PATCH 1/1] KVM: inject data abort if instruction cannot be decoded

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If an application tries to access memory that is not mapped, an error
ENOSYS, "load/store instruction decoding not implemented" may occur.
QEMU will hang with a register dump.

Instead create a data abort that can be handled gracefully by the
application running in the virtual environment.

Now the virtual machine can react to the event in the most appropriate
way - by recovering, by writing an informative log, or by rebooting.
