When vmx_set_nested_state() happens, we may not have all the required data to map enlightened VMCS: e.g. HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE MSR may not yet be restored so we need a postponed action. Currently, we (ab)use need_vmcs12_to_shadow_sync/nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow() for that but this is not ideal: - We may not need to sync anything if L2 is running - It is hard to propagate errors from nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow() as we call it from vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() which happens just before we do VMLAUNCH, the code is not ready to handle errors there. Move eVMCS mapping to nested_get_vmcs12_pages() and request KVM_REQ_GET_VMCS12_PAGES, it seems to be is less abusive in nature. It would probably be possible to introduce a specialized KVM_REQ_EVMCS_MAP but it is undesirable to propagate eVMCS specifics all the way up to x86.c Note, we don't need to request KVM_REQ_GET_VMCS12_PAGES from vmx_set_nested_state() directly as nested_vmx_enter_non_root_mode() already does that. Requesting KVM_REQ_GET_VMCS12_PAGES is done to document the (non-obvious) side-effect and to be future proof.

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.
