[PATCH 1/2] KVM: PPC: Book3S: Fix CONFIG_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n crash

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date: 2021-07-16 02:43:55

When running CPU_FTR_P9_TM_HV_ASSIST, HFSCR[TM] is set for the guest
even if the host has CONFIG_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n, which causes it to be
unprepared to handle guest exits while transactional.

Normal guests don't have a problem because the HTM capability will not
be advertised, but a rogue or buggy one could crash the host.

[PATCH 2/2] KVM: PPC: Fix kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl vcpu_load leak

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date: 2021-07-16 02:44:17

vcpu_put is not called if the user copy fails. This can result in preempt
notifier corruption and crashes, among other issues.
