Yes, your patch should work, and the x86_emulate_instruction code that is there now is clearly wrong (though I'm not sure how the double-fault comes up, #GP + #UD shouldn't generate one because #UD is a benign exception). Peng Hao, do you have a testcase? Eduardo's kvm-unit-tests patch from Nov 2017 doesn't reproduce the bug anymore for me. Thanks, Paolo
