[PATCH 3/5] KVM: x86: IN instruction emulation should ignore REP-prefix

From: Nadav Amit
Date: Thu Apr 17 2014 - 20:38:07 EST


The IN instruction is not be affected by REP-prefix as INS is. Therefore, the
emulation should ignore the REP prefix as well. The current emulator
implementation tries to perform writeback when IN instruction with REP-prefix
is emulated. This causes it to perform wrong memory write or spurious #GP
exception to be injected to the guest.
