[PATCH 0/3] Infinite loops in microcode while running guests

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Tue Nov 10 2015 - 07:23:14 EST


Yes, these can happen. The issue is that benign exceptions are
delivered serially, but two of them (#DB and #AC) can also happen
during exception delivery itself. The subsequent infinite stream
of exceptions causes the processor to never exit guest mode.

KVM: svm: unconditionally intercept #DB
KVM: x86: rename update_db_bp_intercept to update_bp_intercept
