Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: x86: Ignore pending PV EOI if the vCPU has since disabled PV EOIs

Ignore KVM's internal "service pending PV EOI" request if the vCPU has
disabled PV EOIs since the request was made. Asserting that PV EOIs are
enabled can fail if reading guest memory in pv_eoi_get_user() fails, i.e.
if pv_eoi_test_and_clr_pending() bails early, *and* the vCPU also disables
PV EOIs.
