[PATCH 1/3] KVM: x86: work around infinite loop in microcode when #AC is delivered

[Paolo Bonzini]

From: Eric Northup <digitaleric@google.com>

It was found that a guest can DoS a host by triggering an infinite
stream of "alignment check" (#AC) exceptions.  This causes the
microcode to enter an infinite loop where the core never receives
another interrupt.  The host kernel panics pretty quickly due to the
effects (CVE-2015-5307).

[PATCH 2/3] KVM: svm: unconditionally intercept #DB

[Paolo Bonzini]

This is needed to avoid the possibility that the guest triggers
an infinite stream of #DB exceptions (CVE-2015-8104).

VMX is not affected: because it does not save DR6 in the VMCS,
it already intercepts #DB unconditionally.
