Xiaoyao Li 9de6fe3c28 KVM: x86: Emulate split-lock access as a write in emulator
Emulate split-lock accesses as writes if split lock detection is on
to avoid #AC during emulation, which will result in a panic(). This
should never occur for a well-behaved guest, but a malicious guest can
manipulate the TLB to trigger emulation of a locked instruction[1].

More discussion can be found at [2][3].

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
