[PATCH 0/9] x86/vvmx: Read instruction operands correctly on VM exit

[Euan Harris <euan.harris@citrix.com>]

decode_vmx_inst() does not read instruction operands correctly on VM exit:

 * It incorrectly uses vmx_inst_info's address_size field to calculate
   the sizes of the exit-causing instruction's operands.  The sizes of
   the operands are specified in the SDM and might depend on whether the
   guest is running in 32-bit or 64-bit mode, but they have nothing to do
   with the address_size field.

 * It includes its own segmentation logic, duplicating code elsewhere.
   This segmentation logic is also incorrect and will raise #GP fault
   rather than a #SS fault in response to an invalid memory access
   through the stack segment.
 
Patches 1-6 (up to 'Remove operand decoding from decode_vmx_inst()')
refactor decode_vmx_inst() in preparation for fixing the bugs mentioned
above.  They remove unnecessary code and extract the logic for reading
operands from decode_vmx_inst() into a new operand_read() function.
These patches should not cause any functional changes.

Patch 7 ('Use correct sizes when reading operands') replaces the incorrect
operand size calculations based on address_size with the correct sizes
from the SDM.

Patches 8 and 9 add new hvm_copy_{to,from}_guest_virt() helpers and use
them to read memory operands in place of the incorrect segmentation
logic in decode_vmx_inst().

Euan Harris (9):
  x86/vvmx: Remove enum vmx_regs_enc
  x86/vvmx: Unify operands in struct vmx_inst_decoded
  x86/vvmx: Extract operand reading logic into operand_read()
  x86/vvmx: Remove unnecessary VMX operand reads
  x86/vvmx: Replace direct calls to reg_read() with operand_read()
  x86/vvmx: Remove operand reading from decode_vmx_inst()
  x86/vvmx: Use correct sizes when reading operands
  x86/hvm: Add hvm_copy_{to,from}_guest_virt() helpers
  x86/vvmx: Use hvm_copy_{to,from}_guest_virt() to read operands
