[PATCH 3.16 217/245] KVM: nVMX: Don't emulate instructions in guest mode

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Apr 23 2020 - 19:07:31 EST


3.16.83-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 07721feee46b4b248402133228235318199b05ec upstream.

vmx_check_intercept is not yet fully implemented. To avoid emulating
instructions disallowed by the L1 hypervisor, refuse to emulate
instructions by default.
