4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Felix Wilhelm <fwilhelm@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 727ba748e110b4de50d142edca9d6a9b7e6111d8 upstream. VMX instructions executed inside a L1 VM will always trigger a VM exit even when executed with cpl 3. This means we must perform the privilege check in software.
