Subject: [PATCH 3.4 01/91] KVM: s390: Fix user triggerable bug in dead code

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@...ibm.com>

3.4.105-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 614a80e474b227cace52fd6e3c790554db8a396e upstream.

In the early days, we had some special handling for the
KVM_EXIT_S390_SIEIC exit, but this was gone in 2009 with commit
d7b0b5eb3000 (KVM: s390: Make psw available on all exits, not
just a subset).

Now this switch statement is just a sanity check for userspace
not messing with the kvm_run structure. Unfortunately, this
allows userspace to trigger a kernel BUG. Let's just remove
this switch statement.

[lizf: Backported to 3.4:
 - adjust context
 - no KVM_EXIT_S390_TSCH and KVM_EXIT_DEBUG in 3.4]
