3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paolo Bonzini pbonzini@redhat.com
commit 353c0956a618a07ba4bbe7ad00ff29fe70e8412a upstream.
Bugzilla: 1671930
Emulation of certain instructions (VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, VMWRITE with memory operand, INVEPT, INVVPID) can incorrectly inject a page fault when passed an operand that points to an MMIO address. The page fault will use uninitialized kernel stack memory as the CR2 and error code.
The right behavior would be to abort the VM with a KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR exit to userspace; however, it is not an easy fix, so for now just ensure that the error code and CR2 are zero.
Embargoed until Feb 7th 2019.
