[ Upstream commit add5ff7a216ee545a214013f26d1ef2f44a9c9f8 ] Exit to userspace with KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION if we encounter an exception in Protected Mode while emulating guest due to invalid guest state. Unlike Big RM, KVM doesn't support emulating exceptions in PM, i.e. PM exceptions are always injected via the VMCS. Because we will never do VMRESUME due to emulation_required, the exception is never realized and we'll keep emulating the faulting instruction over and over until we receive a signal. Exit to userspace iff there is a pending exception, i.e. don't exit simply on a requested event. The purpose of this check and exit is to aid in debugging a guest that is in all likelihood already doomed. Invalid guest state in PM is extremely limited in normal operation, e.g. it generally only occurs for a few instructions early in BIOS, and any exception at this time is all but guaranteed to be fatal. Non-vectored interrupts, e.g. INIT, SIPI and SMI, can be cleanly handled/emulated, while checking for vectored interrupts, e.g. INTR and NMI, without hitting false positives would add a fair amount of complexity for almost no benefit (getting hit by lightning seems more likely than encountering this specific scenario). Add a WARN_ON_ONCE to vmx_queue_exception() if we try to inject an exception via the VMCS and emulation_required is true.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
