[PATCH v6 4/8] kvm: x86: Emulate split-lock access as a write in emulator
From: Xiaoyao Li
Date: Tue Mar 24 2020 - 11:38:54 EST
If split lock detect is on (warn/fatal), #AC handler calls die() when
split lock happens in kernel.
Malicous guest can exploit the KVM emulator to trigger split lock #AC
in kernel[1]. So just emulating the access as a write if it's a
split-lock access (the same as access spans page) to avoid malicious
guest attacking kernel.
More discussion can be found [2][3].
