[PATCH 4.18 026/158] KVM: VMX: Do not allow reexecute_instruction() when skipping MMIO instr

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

 



4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c4409905cd6eb42cfd06126e9226b0150e05a715 upstream.

Re-execution after an emulation decode failure is only intended to
handle a case where two or vCPUs race to write a shadowed page, i.e.
we should never re-execute an instruction as part of MMIO emulation.
As handle_ept_misconfig() is only used for MMIO emulation, it should
pass EMULTYPE_NO_REEXECUTE when using the emulator to skip an instr
in the fast-MMIO case where VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN is invalid.

And because the cr2 value passed to x86_emulate_instruction() is only
destined for use when retrying or reexecuting, we can simply call
emulate_instruction().

Fixes: d391f1207067 ("x86/kvm/vmx: do not use vm-exit instruction length
                      for fast MMIO when running nested")
