Upstream commit: 63e44bc52047f182601e7817da969a105aa1f721
Check the memory operand of INS/OUTS before emulating the instruction.
The #VC exception can get raised from user-space, but the memory operand
can be manipulated to access kernel memory before the emulation actually
begins and after the exception handler has run.

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.
