    x86: kvm: svm: propagate errors from skip_emulated_instruction() · f8ea7c60
    Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
    On AMD, kvm_x86_ops->skip_emulated_instruction(vcpu) can, in theory,
    fail: in !nrips case we call kvm_emulate_instruction(EMULTYPE_SKIP).
    Currently, we only do printk(KERN_DEBUG) when this happens and this
    is not ideal. Propagate the error up the stack.
    
    On VMX, skip_emulated_instruction() doesn't fail, we have two call
    sites calling it explicitly: handle_exception_nmi() and
    handle_task_switch(), we can just ignore the result.
    
    On SVM, we also have two explicit call sites:
    svm_queue_exception() and it seems we don't need to do anything there as
    we check if RIP was advanced or not. In task_switch_interception(),
    however, we are better off not proceeding to kvm_task_switch() in case
    skip_emulated_instruction() failed.
