Subject: [patch 23/48] KVM: VMX: Dont allow uninhibited access to EFER on i386
Date: Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:07:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090904200853.702476063@mini.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090904201112.GA8274@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: kvm-vmx-don-t-allow-uninhibited-access-to-efer-on-i386.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1089 bytes --]


2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

(cherry picked from commit 16175a796d061833aacfbd9672235f2d2725df65)

vmx_set_msr() does not allow i386 guests to touch EFER, but they can still
do so through the default: label in the switch.  If they set EFER_LME, they
can oops the host.

Fix by having EFER access through the normal channel (which will check for
EFER_LME) even on i386.
