[PATCH 3.17 126/319] KVM: x86: Decoding guest instructions which cross page boundary may fail

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Nov 11 2014 - 22:58:36 EST


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

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

From: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 08da44aedba0f493e10695fa334348a7a4f72eb3 upstream.

Once an instruction crosses a page boundary, the size read from the second page
disregards the common case that part of the operand resides on the first page.
As a result, fetch of long insturctions may fail, and thereby cause the
decoding to fail as well.
