[PATCH] KVM: x86: Assert that the emulator doesn't load CS with garbage in !RM

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Feb 16 2023 - 15:23:01 EST


Yell loudly if KVM attempts to load CS outside of Real Mode without an
accompanying control transfer type, i.e. on X86_TRANSFER_NONE. KVM uses
X86_TRANSFER_NONE when emulating IRET and exceptions/interrupts for Real
Mode, but IRET emulation for Protected Mode is non-existent. WARN instead
of trying to pass in a less-wrong type, e.g. X86_TRANSFER_RET, as
emulating IRET goes even beyond emulating FAR RET (which KVM also doesn't
fully support).
