Subject: [PATCH 3.12 153/235] KVM: x86: Introduce segmented_write_std

From: Steve Rutherford <srutherford@...gle.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 129a72a0d3c8e139a04512325384fe5ac119e74d upstream.

Introduces segemented_write_std.

Switches from emulated reads/writes to standard read/writes in fxsave,
fxrstor, sgdt, and sidt.  This fixes CVE-2017-2584, a longstanding
kernel memory leak.

Since commit 283c95d0e389 ("KVM: x86: emulate FXSAVE and FXRSTOR",
2016-11-09), which is luckily not yet in any final release, this would
also be an exploitable kernel memory *write*!
