[PATCH v2] kvm: nVMX: check vmcs12 for valid activity state

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Mon Apr 15 2013 - 09:00:38 EST


KVM does not use the activity state VMCS field, and does not support
it in nested VMX either (the corresponding bits in the misc VMX feature
MSR are zero). Fail entry if the activity state is set to anything but
"active".

Since the value will always be the same for L1 and L2, we do not need
to read and write the corresponding VMCS field on L1/L2 transitions,
either.

v1->v2: remove read/write of vmcs12->guest_activity_state,
use GUEST_ACTIVITY_ACTIVE.
