Sean Christopherson 49a1431d3b KVM: x86: Bug the VM if the emulator generates a bogus exception vector
Bug the VM if KVM's emulator attempts to inject a bogus exception vector.
The guest is likely doomed even if KVM continues on, and propagating a
bad vector to the rest of KVM runs the risk of breaking other assumptions
in KVM and thus triggering a more egregious bug.

All existing users of emulate_exception() have hardcoded vector numbers
(__load_segment_descriptor() uses a few different vectors, but they're
all hardcoded), and future users are likely to follow suit, i.e. the
change to emulate_exception() is a glorified nop.

As for the ctxt->exception.vector check in x86_emulate_insn(), the few
known times the WARN has been triggered in the past is when the field was
not set when synthesizing a fault, i.e. for all intents and purposes the
check protects against consumption of uninitialized data.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
