Subject: [PATCH] KVM: prevent overlap between user and private memslots

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

Memslots must not overlap in guest physical memory, since otherwise some
guest physical addresses will not uniquely map to a memslot.  Yet, the
overlap check in __kvm_set_memory_region() allows a memslot that
overlaps one of the "private" memslots, e.g. the memslot reserved for
the TSS on x86.

This seems to be a very old bug that was introduced years ago when
private memory slots were first added.  It seems that later refactoring
incorrectly assumed this bug was intentional and preserved it.

Fix it by removing the loophole for private memslots, so we just check
for overlap against all memslots.

This bug was found by syzkaller, which used a memslot overlap to make
pte_list_remove() be called for the wrong memslot, hitting a BUG():
