Hou Wenlong 1adfbfaeb2 KVM: x86: Exit to userspace if emulation prepared a completion callback 
[ Upstream commit adbfb12d4c ]

em_rdmsr() and em_wrmsr() return X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED if MSR accesses
required an exit to userspace. However, x86_emulate_insn() doesn't return
X86EMUL_*, so x86_emulate_instruction() doesn't directly act on
X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED; instead, it looks for other signals to differentiate
between PIO, MMIO, etc. causing RDMSR/WRMSR emulation not to
exit to userspace now.

Nevertheless, if the userspace_msr_exit_test testcase in selftests
is changed to test RDMSR/WRMSR with a forced emulation prefix,
the test passes.  What happens is that first userspace exit
information is filled but the userspace exit does not happen.
Because x86_emulate_instruction() returns 1, the guest retries
the instruction---but this time RIP has already been adjusted
past the forced emulation prefix, so the guest executes RDMSR/WRMSR
and the userspace exit finally happens.

Since the X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED path has provided a complete_userspace_io
callback, x86_emulate_instruction() can just return 0 if the
callback is not NULL. Then RDMSR/WRMSR instruction emulation will
exit to userspace directly, without the RDMSR/WRMSR vmexit.

README 

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.
