[PATCH 0/7] KVM: x86: Additional rflags.rf fixes

From: Nadav Amit
Date: Mon Jul 21 2014 - 07:39:13 EST


RFLAGS.RF is not handled well by kvm, in both the x86 emulator and vmx code.
This flag should be cleared after every instruction emulation (other than
IRETD/IRETQ). It should be set in various conditions as described in Intel SDM
17.3.1.1. This series of patches addresses the clearing of RF on emulated
instructions, the setting the RF upon fault injection. It does not handle the
case of traps and interrupts injection during REP-string, since there is
no easy indication whether the first iteration of a rep-string occurred.
The value of RF depends on whether the first iteration took place.

Thanks for reviewing the patches.
