4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sean Christopherson sean.j.christopherson@intel.com
Upstream commit:
f775b13eedee ("x86,kvm: move qemu/guest FPU switching out to vcpu_run")
introduced a bug, which was later fixed by upstream commit:
5663d8f9bbe4 ("kvm: x86: fix WARN due to uninitialized guest FPU state")
For reasons unknown, both commits were initially passed-over for inclusion in the 4.14 stable branch despite being tagged for stable. Eventually, someone noticed that the fixup, commit 5663d8f9bbe4, was missing from stable[1], and so it was queued up for 4.14 and included in release v4.14.79.
Even later, the original buggy patch, commit f775b13eedee, was also applied to the 4.14 stable branch. Through an unlucky coincidence, the incorrect ordering did not generate a conflict between the two patches, and led to v4.14.94 and later releases containing a spurious call to kvm_load_guest_fpu() in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run(). As a result, KVM may reload stale guest FPU state, e.g. after accepting in INIT event. This can manifest as crashes during boot, segfaults, failed checksums and so on and so forth.
Remove the unwanted kvm_{load,put}_guest_fpu() calls, i.e. make kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() look like commit 5663d8f9bbe4 was backported after commit f775b13eedee.
