Subject: [PATCH 4.9 105/129] KVM: x86: always stop emulation on page fault

From: Jan Dakinevich <jan.dakinevich@...tuozzo.com>

commit 8530a79c5a9f4e29e6ffb35ec1a79d81f4968ec8 upstream.

inject_emulated_exception() returns true if and only if nested page
fault happens. However, page fault can come from guest page tables
walk, either nested or not nested. In both cases we should stop an
attempt to read under RIP and give guest to step over its own page
fault handler.

This is also visible when an emulated instruction causes a #GP fault
and the VMware backdoor is enabled.  To handle the VMware backdoor,
KVM intercepts #GP faults; with only the next patch applied,
x86_emulate_instruction() injects a #GP but returns EMULATE_FAIL
instead of EMULATE_DONE.   EMULATE_FAIL causes handle_exception_nmi()
(or gp_interception() for SVM) to re-inject the original #GP because it
thinks emulation failed due to a non-VMware opcode.  This patch prevents
the issue as x86_emulate_instruction() will return EMULATE_DONE after
injecting the #GP.
