Subject: [3.13-stable only] KVM: x86: Fix far-jump to non-canonical check
commit 7e46dddd6f6cd5dbf3c7bd04a7e75d19475ac9f2 upstream.
[3.13-stable's first backport (f9bffe0) of this commit accidentally omitted
part of the upstream patch (the WARN_ON fixes), supplied here.]
Commit d1442d85cc30 ("KVM: x86: Handle errors when RIP is set during far
jumps") introduced a bug that caused the fix to be incomplete. Due to
incorrect evaluation, far jump to segment with L bit cleared (i.e., 32-bit
segment) and RIP with any of the high bits set (i.e, RIP[63:32] != 0) set may
not trigger #GP. As we know, this imposes a security problem.
In addition, the condition for two warnings was incorrect.
Fixes: d1442d85cc30ea75f7d399474ca738e0bc96f715
