x86: insn-fetch related emulation adjustments

[PATCH 0/3] x86: insn-fetch related emulation adjustments

Posted by Jan Beulich 2 years, 4 months ago

Two fixes and some tidying.

1: HVM: permit CLFLUSH{,OPT} on execute-only code segments
2: HVM: fail virt-to-linear conversion for insn fetches from non-code segments
3: emul: drop "seg" parameter from insn_fetch() hook
