[PATCH 3.14 16/34] KVM: nSVM: Check for NRIPS support before updating control field

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jul 01 2015 - 14:44:31 EST


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

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

From: Bandan Das <bsd@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f104765b4f81fd74d69e0eb161e89096deade2db upstream.

If hardware doesn't support DecodeAssist - a feature that provides
more information about the intercept in the VMCB, KVM decodes the
instruction and then updates the next_rip vmcb control field.
However, NRIP support itself depends on cpuid Fn8000_000A_EDX[NRIPS].
Since skip_emulated_instruction() doesn't verify nrip support
before accepting control.next_rip as valid, avoid writing this
field if support isn't present.
