Subject: [PATCH 3/3] KVM: X86: Don't report L2 emulation failures to user-space
Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:51:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1291049509-3430-4-git-send-email-joerg.roedel@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4CF3D093.40604@redhat.com>
This patch prevents that emulation failures which result
from emulating an instruction for an L2-Guest results in
being reported to userspace.
Without this patch a malicious L2-Guest would be able to
kill the L1 by triggering a race-condition between an vmexit
and the instruction emulator.
With this patch the L2 will most likely only kill itself in
this situation.
