A simple fix for a null pointer dereference in vmx_vcpu_run() with an
ugly-but-safe prereq patch.
The even uglier ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT is gone in v2 as I finally figured
out why vmx_return was undefined: GCC dropped the entire asm blob because
all outputs were deemed unused.
v2:
- Document why there is no exact upstream commit for the fix, with
--verbose. [Greg]
- Tag the asm blob as volatile and drop the ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT hack.
Sean Christopherson (2):
KVM: VMX: Explicitly reference RCX as the vmx_vcpu pointer in asm
blobs
KVM: VMX: Mark RCX, RDX and RSI as clobbered in vmx_vcpu_run()'s asm
blob
