[PATCH] KVM: VMX: Trap and invalid MWAIT/MONITOR instruction

[Sheng Yang]

We don't support these instructions, but guest can execute them even if the
feature('monitor') haven't been exposed in CPUID. So we would trap and inject
a #UD if guest try this way.

Wouldn't it be a lot better to emulate them? I actually have emulation of MONITOR/MWAIT on my todo list for some time, since OSX requires it.

Basically what they do is they guarantee that a MONITOR'ed region is on a page boundary, so all we need to do is not map the monitor'ed page to wake up from the mwait.

Applied, and queued for stable.  Thanks.

You'll need to break up large page mappings for this.

Shouldn't these be in the 'opt' section?  Not all processors support 
MONITOR/MWAIT exiting (presumably those don't support the instructions).

Right. Same for PCI device assignment. Breaking up large page mappings
should be a fairly normal operation.

Sure, just pointing out that this isn't free.
