From: Binbin Wu <[email protected]> Add a new emulator flag, X86EMUL_F_BRANCH, and use it instead of X86EMUL_F_FETCH in assign_eip() to distinguish between instruction fetch and branch target computation for features that handle them differently. For example, Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) applies to code fetches but not branch target calculations. A LASS violation occurs only when the branch target is used to fetch an instruction. X86EMUL_F_BRANCH is still a code access, so add it to the code segment readability check in __linearize() along with the Linear Address Masking (LAM) untagging exemption in vmx_get_untagged_addr(). For now, X86EMUL_F_BRANCH and X86EMUL_F_FETCH are identical as far as KVM is concerned. No functional change intended.
