[RESEND PATCH v2 3/4] x86/umip: Identify the str and sldt instructions

From: Ricardo Neri
Date: Tue Nov 14 2017 - 01:31:41 EST


The instructions STR and SLDT are not emulated in any case. Thus, it made
sense to not implement functionality to identify them. However, a
subsequent commit will introduce functionality to warn about the use of
all the instructions that UMIP protect, not only those that are emulated.
A first step for that is the ability to identify them.

Plus, now that STR and SLDT are identified, we need to explicitly avoid
their emulation (i.e., not rely on unsuccessful identification). Group
togehter all the cases that we do not want to emulate: STR, SLDT and user
long mode processes.

This patch also corrects the #define of SMSW. This change does not have a
functional impact as it is only used as an identifier.
