[PATCH v3 0/3] Vendor specific instructions and the emulator

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

 



Currently we have some ad-hoc code in x86.c to restrict #UD emulation to
expected instructions (that is, vendor specific instructions).  This patchset
replaces the ad-hoc code with proper emulator support using decode tables.

Avi Kivity (3):
  KVM: Drop bogus x86_decode_insn() error check
    v2: replaces v1's first two patches
  KVM: x86 emulator: vendor specific instructions
  KVM: Drop ad-hoc vendor specific instruction restriction
    v3: preserve early-exit on #UD (reexecute_instruction() isn't reliable
        since we don't have a valid cr2)
