This patchset allows userspace to be a fallback for handling emulation errors.
v1 -> v2:
- Added additional documentation for KVM_CAP_EXIT_ON_EMULATION_FAILURE.
- In prepare_emulation_failure_exit():
- Created a local variable for vcpu->run.
- Cleared the flags, emulation_failure.flags.
- Or'd the instruction bytes flag on to emulation_failure.flags.
- Updated the comment for KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION flags on how they are
to be used.
- Updated the comment for struct emulation_failure.
v2 -> v3:
- Update documentation for KVM_CAP_EXIT_ON_EMULATION_FAILURE.
- Fix spacing in prepare_emulation_failure_exit().
v3 -> v4:
- In prepare_emulation_failure_exit():
- Clear instruction bytes to 0x90.
- Copy over insn_size bytes rather than sizeof(ctxt->fetch.data).
- set_page_table_entry() takes a pte rather than mask.
- In _vm_get_page_table_entry():
- Removed check for page aligned addresses only.
- Added canonical check.
- Added a check to make sure no reserved bits are set along the walk except
for the final pte (the pte cannot have the reserved bits checked otherwise
the test would fail).
- Added check to ensure superpage bits are clear.
- Added check in test for 'allow_smaller_maxphyaddr' module parameter.
- If the is_flds() check fails, only look at the first byte.
- Don't use labels to increment the RIP. Decode the instruction well enough to
ensure it is only 2-bytes.
