[198/200] KVM: SVM: Dont allow nested guest to VMMCALL into host

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Jul 01 2010 - 17:20:12 EST


2.6.34-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@xxxxxxx>

This patch disables the possibility for a l2-guest to do a
VMMCALL directly into the host. This would happen if the
l1-hypervisor doesn't intercept VMMCALL and the l2-guest
executes this instruction.
