Access to VMware backdoor ports is done by one of the IN/OUT/INS/OUTS instructions. These ports must be allowed access even if TSS I/O permission bitmap don't allow it. To handle this, VMX/SVM will be changed in future commits to intercept #GP which was raised by such access and handle it by calling x86 emulator to emulate instruction. If it was one of these instructions, the x86 emulator already handles it correctly (Since commit "KVM: x86: Always allow access to VMware backdoor I/O ports") by not checking these ports against TSS I/O permission bitmap. One may wonder why checking for specific instructions is necessary as we can just forward all #GPs to the x86 emulator. There are multiple reasons for doing so: 1. We don't want the x86 emulator to be reached easily by guest by just executing an instruction that raises #GP as that exposes the x86 emulator as a bigger attack surface. 2. The x86 emulator is incomplete and therefore certain instructions that can cause #GP cannot be emulated. Such an example is "INT x" (opcode 0xcd) which reaches emulate_int() which can only emulate the instruction if vCPU is in real-mode.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
