Subject: [PATCH 4.19 STABLE v2 0/2] KVM: VMX: Fix null pointer dereference

A simple fix for a null pointer dereference in vmx_vcpu_run() with an
ugly-but-safe prereq patch.

The even uglier ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT is gone in v2 as I finally figured
out why vmx_return was undefined: GCC dropped the entire asm blob because
all outputs were deemed unused.

v2:
  - Document why there is no exact upstream commit for the fix, with
    --verbose. [Greg]
  - Tag the asm blob as volatile and drop the ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT hack.

Sean Christopherson (2):
  KVM: VMX: Explicitly reference RCX as the vmx_vcpu pointer in asm
    blobs
  KVM: VMX: Mark RCX, RDX and RSI as clobbered in vmx_vcpu_run()'s asm
    blob
