[PATCH v2 3/6] kvm: x86: Emulate split-lock access as a write

From: Xiaoyao Li
Date: Mon Feb 03 2020 - 10:21:41 EST


If split lock detect is enabled (warn/fatal), #AC handler calls die()
when split lock happens in kernel.

A sane guest should never tigger emulation on a split-lock access, but
it cannot prevent malicous guest from doing this. So just emulating the
access as a write if it's a split-lock access to avoid malicous guest
polluting the kernel log.

More detail analysis can be found:
