[PATCH v3 5/8] kvm: x86: Emulate split-lock access as a write

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

 



If split lock detect is enabled (warn/fatal), #AC handler calls die()
when split lock happens in kernel.

A sane guest should never tigger emulation on a split-lock access, but
it cannot prevent malicous guest from doing this. So just emulating the
access as a write if it's a split-lock access (the same as access spans
page) to avoid malicous guest polluting the kernel log.

More detail analysis can be found:
