Subject: [PATCH 0/6] KVM: x86: Make the cause of instruction emulation available to user-space
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 14:09:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210412130938.68178-1-david.edmondson@oracle.com> (raw)

Instruction emulation happens for a variety of reasons, yet on error
we have no idea exactly what triggered it. Add a cause of emulation to
the various originators and pass it upstream when emulation fails.

Joao originally produced the patches but is busy with other things and
I wanted to use it, so picked it up.

Tested by reverting commit 51b958e5aeb1e18c00332e0b37c5d4e95a3eff84
("KVM: x86: clflushopt should be treated as a no-op by emulation")
then running the test included in
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201118121129.6276-1-david.edmondson@oracle.com.

Joao Martins (6):
  KVM: x86: add an emulation_reason to x86_emulate_instruction()
  KVM: x86: pass emulation_reason to handle_emulation_failure()
  KVM: x86: add emulation_reason to kvm_emulate_instruction()
  KVM: x86: pass a proper reason to kvm_emulate_instruction()
  KVM: SVM: pass a proper reason in kvm_emulate_instruction()
  KVM: VMX: pass a proper reason in kvm_emulate_instruction()
