This reverts commitbbd6411513. I've been sitting on this revert for too long and it unfortunately missed 4.11. It's also the reason why I haven't merged ring-based dirty tracking for 4.12. Using kvm_vcpu_memslots in kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init and kvm_vcpu_write_guest_offset_cached means that the MSR value can now be used to access SMRAM, simply by making it point to an SMRAM physical address. This is problematic because it lets the guest OS overwrite memory that it shouldn't be able to touch. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes:bbd6411513Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
