[PATCH 3/3] KVM: VMX: Extend VMX's #AC interceptor to handle split lock #AC in guest

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Apr 02 2020 - 11:56:58 EST


From: Xiaoyao Li <xiaoyao.li@xxxxxxxxx>

Two types #AC can be generated in Intel CPUs:
1. legacy alignment check #AC
2. split lock #AC

Reflect #AC back into the guest if the guest has legacy alignment checks
enabled or if SLD is disabled. If SLD is enabled, treat the guest like
a host userspace application by calling handle_user_split_lock(). If
the #AC is handled (SLD disabled and TIF_SLD set), then simply resume
the guest. If the #AC isn't handled, i.e. host is sld_fatal, then
forward the #AC to the userspace VMM, similar to sending SIGBUS.
