[FYI PATCH 1/5] x86/kvm: Be careful not to clear KVM_VCPU_FLUSH_TLB bit

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Thu Jan 30 2020 - 13:02:06 EST


From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

kvm_steal_time_set_preempted() may accidentally clear KVM_VCPU_FLUSH_TLB
bit if it is called more than once while VCPU is preempted.

This is part of CVE-2019-3016.

(This bug was also independently discovered by Jim Mattson
<jmattson@xxxxxxxxxx>)
