Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: Exception during emulation decode should propagate
Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:53:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1326300811-17065-1-git-send-email-namit@cs.technion.ac.il> (raw)
An exception might occur during decode (e.g., #PF during fetch).
Currently, the exception is ignored and emulation is performed.
Instead, emulation should be skipped and the fault should be injected.
Skipping instruction should report a failure in this case.
