A previous fix to prevent KVM from consuming stale VMCS state after a
failed VM-Entry inadvertantly blocked KVM's handling of machine checks
that occur during VM-Entry.
Per Intel's SDM, a #MC during VM-Entry is handled in one of three ways,
depending on when the #MC is recognoized. As it pertains to this bug
fix, the third case explicitly states EXIT_REASON_MCE_DURING_VMENTRY
is handled like any other VM-Exit during VM-Entry, i.e. sets bit 31 to
indicate the VM-Entry failed.
If a machine-check event occurs during a VM entry, one of the following occurs:
- The machine-check event is handled as if it occurred before the VM entry:
...
- The machine-check event is handled after VM entry completes:
...
- A VM-entry failure occurs as described in Section 26.7. The basic
exit reason is 41, for "VM-entry failure due to machine-check event".
Explicitly handle EXIT_REASON_MCE_DURING_VMENTRY as a one-off case in
vmx_vcpu_run() instead of binning it into vmx_complete_atomic_exit().
Doing so allows vmx_vcpu_run() to handle VMX_EXIT_REASONS_FAILED_VMENTRY
in a sane fashion and also simplifies vmx_complete_atomic_exit() since
VMCS.VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO is guaranteed to be fresh.

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.
