Subject[PATCH] KVM: x86: Take a u64 when checking for a valid dr7 value
Date
Take a u64 instead of an unsigned long in kvm_dr7_valid() to fix a build
warning on i386 due to right-shifting a 32-bit value by 32 when checking
for bits being set in dr7[63:32].

Alternatively, the warning could be resolved by rewriting the check to
use an i386-friendly method, but taking a u64 fixes another oddity on
32-bit KVM. Beause KVM implements natural width VMCS fields as u64s to
avoid layout issues between 32-bit and 64-bit, a devious guest can stuff
vmcs12->guest_dr7 with a 64-bit value even when both the guest and host
are 32-bit kernels. KVM eventually drops vmcs12->guest_dr7[63:32] when
propagating vmcs12->guest_dr7 to vmcs02, but ideally KVM would not rely
on that behavior for correctness.
