Upstream commit:a37cd2a59dA virt scenario can be constructed where MMIO memory can be user memory. When that happens, a race condition opens between when the hardware raises the #VC and when the #VC handler gets to emulate the instruction. If the MOVS is replaced with a MOVS accessing kernel memory in that small race window, then write to kernel memory happens as the access checks are not done at emulation time. Disable MMIO emulation in user mode temporarily until a sensible use case appears and justifies properly handling the race window.

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.
