Subject: KVM: x86: Inter-privilege level ret emulation is not implemeneted
From: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9e8919ae793f4edfaa29694a70f71a515ae9942a upstream.
Return unhandlable error on inter-privilege level ret instruction. This is
since the current emulation does not check the privilege level correctly when
loading the CS, and does not pop RSP/SS as needed.
