[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: fixes for the kernel-hardening tree

[Paolo Bonzini]

Four KVM ioctls (KVM_GET/SET_CPUID2 on x86, KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG on
ARM and s390) directly access the kvm_vcpu_arch struct.  Therefore, the
new usercopy hardening work in linux-next, which forbids copies from and
to slab objects unless they are from kmalloc or explicitly whitelisted,
breaks KVM on those architectures.

The kvm_vcpu_arch struct is embedded in the kvm_vcpu struct and the
corresponding slab cache is allocated by architecture-independent code.
It is enough, for simplicity, to whitelist the whole sub-struct and
only touch one place of the KVM code.  Later, any further restrictions
can be applied in the KVM tree.

  kvm: whitelist struct kvm_vcpu_arch
  kvm: x86: fix KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG ioctl
