Subject: KVM: x86: Fix uninitialized op->type for some immediate values
From: Nadav Amit <[email protected]>
commit d29b9d7ed76c0b961603ca692b8a562556a20212 upstream.
The emulator could reuse an op->type from a previous instruction for some
immediate values. If it mistakenly considers the operands as memory
operands, it will performs a memory read and overwrite op->val.
Consider for instance the ROR instruction - src2 (the number of times)
would be read from memory instead of being used as immediate.
Mark every immediate operand as such to avoid this problem.
