[067/126] KVM: x86: fix for buffer overflow in handling of MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME(CVE-2013-1796)

[Steven Rostedt]

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

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

From: Andy Honig <ahonig@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c300aa64ddf57d9c5d9c898a64b36877345dd4a9 ]

If the guest sets the GPA of the time_page so that the request to update the
time straddles a page then KVM will write onto an incorrect page.  The
write is done byusing kmap atomic to get a pointer to the page for the time
structure and then performing a memcpy to that page starting at an offset
that the guest controls.  Well behaved guests always provide a 32-byte aligned
address, however a malicious guest could use this to corrupt host kernel
memory.

Tested: Tested against kvmclock unit test.
