2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jan Kiszka commit e125e7b6944898831b56739a5448e705578bf7e2 upstream. So far, KVM copied the emulated_msrs (only MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE) to a wrong address in user space due to broken pointer arithmetic. This caused subtle corruption up there (missing MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE had probably no practical relevance). Moreover, the size check for the user-provided kvm_msr_list forgot about emulated MSRs.
