Allocate and map an IST stack and an additional fall-back stack for the #VC handler. The memory for the stacks is allocated only when SEV-ES is active. The #VC handler needs to use an IST stack because a #VC exception can be raised from kernel space with unsafe stack, e.g. in the SYSCALL entry path. Since the #VC exception can be nested, the #VC handler switches back to the interrupted stack when entered from kernel space. If switching back is not possible, the fall-back stack is used.

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.
