[PATCH v2 2/8] KVM: x86: Use a new flag for branch instructions

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

 



From: Binbin Wu <binbin.wu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Use the new flag X86EMUL_F_BRANCH instead of X86EMUL_F_FETCH in
assign_eip(), since strictly speaking it is not behavior of instruction
fetch.

Another reason is to distinguish instruction fetch and execution of branch
instruction for feature(s) that handle differently on them.

Branch instruction is not data access instruction, so skip checking against
execute-only code segment as instruction fetch.
