[PATCH] kvm-pr: manage illegal instructions

From: Laurent Vivier
Date: Tue Mar 15 2016 - 16:18:55 EST


While writing some instruction tests for kvm-unit-tests for powerpc,
I've found that illegal instructions are not managed correctly with kvm-pr,
while it is fine with kvm-hv.

When an illegal instruction (like ".long 0") is processed by kvm-pr,
the kernel logs are filled with:

Couldn't emulate instruction 0x00000000 (op 0 xop 0)
kvmppc_handle_exit_pr: emulation at 700 failed (00000000)

While the exception handler receives an interrupt for each instruction
executed after the illegal instruction.
