ARM: KVM: prevent NULL pointer dereferences with KVM VCPU ioctl
Some ARM KVM VCPU ioctls require the vCPU to be properly initialized with the KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl before being used with further requests. KVM_RUN checks whether this initialization has been done, but other ioctls do not. Namely KVM_GET_REG_LIST will dereference an array with index -1 without initialization and thus leads to a kernel oops. Fix this by adding checks before executing the ioctl handlers. [ Removed superflous comment from static function - Christoffer ] Changes from v1: * moved check into a static function with a meaningful name Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <cdall@cs.columbia.edu>
