KVM: fix load_guest_segment_descriptor() to return X86EMUL_*
This patch fixes load_guest_segment_descriptor() to return X86EMUL_PROPAGATE_FAULT when it tries to access the descriptor table beyond the limit of it: suggested by Marcelo. I have checked current callers of this helper function, - kvm_load_segment_descriptor() - kvm_task_switch() and confirmed that this patch will change nothing in the upper layers if we do not change the handling of this return value from load_guest_segment_descriptor(). Next step: Although fixing the kvm_task_switch() to handle the propagated faults properly seems difficult, and maybe not worth it because TSS is not used commonly these days, we can fix kvm_load_segment_descriptor(). By doing so, the injected #GP becomes possible to be handled by the guest. The only problem for this is how to differentiate this fault from the page faults generated by kvm_read_guest_virt(). We may have to split this function to achive this goal. Signed-off-by: Takuya Yoshikawa <yoshikawa.takuya@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
