[PATCH 0/6] KVM: x86: Make the cause of instruction emulation available to user-space

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

 



Instruction emulation happens for a variety of reasons, yet on error
we have no idea exactly what triggered it. Add a cause of emulation to
the various originators and pass it upstream when emulation fails.

Joao originally produced the patches but is busy with other things and
I wanted to use it, so picked it up.

Tested by reverting commit 51b958e5aeb1e18c00332e0b37c5d4e95a3eff84
("KVM: x86: clflushopt should be treated as a no-op by emulation")
then running the test included in
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201118121129.6276-1-david.edmondson@xxxxxxxxxx.
