[ 03/17] KVM: x86: remove vcpus CPL check in host-invoked XCR set

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jun 25 2013 - 14:39:42 EST


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

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

From: "Zhanghaoyu (A)" <haoyu.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 764bcbc5a6d7a2f3e75c9f0e4caa984e2926e346 upstream.

__kvm_set_xcr function does the CPL check when set xcr. __kvm_set_xcr is
called in two flows, one is invoked by guest, call stack shown as below,

handle_xsetbv(or xsetbv_interception)
kvm_set_xcr
__kvm_set_xcr

the other one is invoked by host, for example during system reset:

kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl
kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_xcrs
__kvm_set_xcr

The former does need the CPL check, but the latter does not.
