Rework the VMX instruction helpers using asm-goto to branch directly to error/fault "handlers" in lieu of using __ex(), i.e. the generic ____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot(). Branching directly to fault handling code during fixup avoids the extra JMP that is inserted after every VMX instruction when using the generic "fault on reboot" (see commit 3901336ed9887, "x86/kvm: Don't call kvm_spurious_fault() from .fixup"). Opportunistically clean up the helpers so that they all have consistent error handling and messages. Leave the usage of ____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() (via __ex()) in kvm_cpu_vmxoff() and nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() as is. The VMXOFF case is not a fast path, i.e. the cleanliness of __ex() is worth the JMP, and the extra JMP in nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() is unavoidable. Note, VMREAD cannot get the asm-goto treatment as output operands aren't compatible with GCC's asm-goto due to internal compiler restrictions.

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.
