The MMIO interface between the kernel and userspace uses a structure that supports a maximum of 8-bytes of data. Instructions that access more than that need to be emulated in parts. We currently don't have generic support for splitting the emulation in parts and each set of instructions needs to be explicitly included. There's already an error message being printed when a load or store exceeds the mmio.data buffer but we don't fail the emulation until later at kvmppc_complete_mmio_load and even then we allow userspace to make a partial copy of the data, which ends up overwriting some fields of the mmio structure. This patch makes the emulation fail earlier at kvmppc_handle_load|store, which will send a Program interrupt to the guest. This is better than allowing the guest to proceed with partial data. Note that this was caught in a somewhat artificial scenario using quadword instructions (lq/stq), there's no account of an actual guest in the wild running instructions that are not properly emulated. (While here, remove the "bad MMIO" messages. The caller already has an error message.)

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.
