From 18c3626e3d5dfa8b90e2dc6dbc30064c0e1c97ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 12:27:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: zero IDT limit on entry to SMM The recent BlackHat 2015 presentation "The Memory Sinkhole" mentions that the IDT limit is zeroed on entry to SMM. This is not documented, and must have changed some time after 2010 (see http://www.ssi.gouv.fr/uploads/IMG/pdf/IT_Defense_2010_final.pdf). KVM was not doing it, but the fix is easy.
