New AMD CPUs have a change that checks #VMEXIT intercept on special SVM instructions before checking their EAX against reserved memory region. This change is indicated by CPUID_0x8000000A_EDX[28]. If it is 1, #VMEXIT is triggered before #GP. KVM doesn't need to intercept and emulate #GP faults as #GP is supposed to be triggered.

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.
