Deliberately truncate the exception error code when shoving it into the VMCS (VM-Entry field for vmcs01 and vmcs02, VM-Exit field for vmcs12). Intel CPUs are incapable of handling 32-bit error codes and will never generate an error code with bits 31:16, but userspace can provide an arbitrary error code via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS. Failure to drop the bits on exception injection results in failed VM-Entry, as VMX disallows setting bits 31:16. Setting the bits on VM-Exit would at best confuse L1, and at worse induce a nested VM-Entry failure, e.g. if L1 decided to reinject the exception back into L2.

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.
