[PATCH RFC 5/5] x86: KVM: svm: remove hardcoded instruction length from intercepts

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Thu Jun 20 2019 - 07:08:10 EST


Various intercepts hard-code the respective instruction lengths to optimize
skip_emulated_instruction(): when next_rip is pre-set we skip
kvm_emulate_instruction(vcpu, EMULTYPE_SKIP). The optimization is, however,
incorrect: different (redundant) prefixes could be used to enlarge the
instruction. We can't really avoid decoding.

svm->next_rip is not used when CPU supports 'nrips' (X86_FEATURE_NRIPS)
feature: next RIP is provided in VMCB. The feature is not really new
(Opteron G3s had it already) and the change should have zero affect.

Remove manual svm->next_rip setting with hard-coded instruction lengths. The
only case where we now use svm->next_rip is EXIT_IOIO: the instruction
length is provided to us by hardware.
