[PATCH 0/2] kvm: split_lock: Fix emulator and extend #AC handler

From: Xiaoyao Li
Date: Thu Jan 30 2020 - 07:24:49 EST


As kernel split lock patch[1] merged into tip tree, kvm emulator needs to be
fixed and vmx's #AC handler needs to be extended.

Patch 1 fixes x86/emulator to emualte split lock access as write to avoid
malicous guest[2] exploiting it to populate host kernel log.

Patch 2 extends vmx's #AC handler that we can make old guestes (has split_lock
buges) survive on certain cases.
