In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM:
VMX: Disable preemption when probing user return MSRs Disable preemption
when probing a user return MSR via RDSMR/WRMSR. If the MSR holds a
different value per logical CPU, the WRMSR could corrupt the host’s value
if KVM is preempted between the RDMSR and WRMSR, and then rescheduled on a
different CPU. Opportunistically land the helper in common x86, SVM will
use the helper in a future commit.
