4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Huth <thuth@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 708e75a3ee750dce1072134e630d66c4e6eaf63c upstream. If kvmppc_handle_exit_pr() calls kvmppc_emulate_instruction() to emulate one instruction (in the BOOK3S_INTERRUPT_H_EMUL_ASSIST case), it calls kvmppc_core_queue_program() afterwards if kvmppc_emulate_instruction() returned EMULATE_FAIL, so the guest gets an program interrupt for the illegal opcode. However, the kvmppc_emulate_instruction() also tried to inject a program exception for this already, so the program interrupt gets injected twice and the return address in srr0 gets destroyed. All other callers of kvmppc_emulate_instruction() are also injecting a program interrupt, and since the callers have the right knowledge about the srr1 flags that should be used, it is the function kvmppc_emulate_instruction() that should _not_ inject program interrupts, so remove the kvmppc_core_queue_program() here. This fixes the issue discovered by Laurent Vivier with kvm-unit-tests where the logs are filled with these messages when the test tries to execute an illegal instruction: Couldn't emulate instruction 0x00000000 (op 0 xop 0) kvmppc_handle_exit_pr: emulation at 700 failed (00000000) Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@xxxxxxx> Tested-by: Laurent Vivier <lvivier@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sumit Semwal <sumit.semwal@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/kvm/emulate.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) --- a/arch/powerpc/kvm/emulate.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kvm/emulate.c @@ -302,7 +302,6 @@ int kvmppc_emulate_instruction(struct kv advance = 0; printk(KERN_ERR "Couldn't emulate instruction 0x%08x " "(op %d xop %d)\n", inst, get_op(inst), get_xop(inst)); - kvmppc_core_queue_program(vcpu, 0); } }
