Commit Message

Aaron Lewis April 27, 2021, 4:59 p.m. UTC
Add a fallback mechanism to the in-kernel instruction emulator that
allows userspace the opportunity to process an instruction the emulator
was unable to.  When the in-kernel instruction emulator fails to process
an instruction it will either inject a #UD into the guest or exit to
userspace with exit reason KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR.  This is because it does
not know how to proceed in an appropriate manner.  This feature lets
userspace get involved to see if it can figure out a better path
forward.

Something about looking at the flags to determine the payload of the
emulation_failure structure would be useful.

max_insn_size seems pointless - what about using
sizeof(run->emulation_failure.insn_bytes) ?
