A failed VM-Enter (obviously) didn't succeed, meaning the CPU never executed an instrunction in guest mode and so can't have changed the general purpose registers. In addition to saving some instructions in the VM-Fail case, this also provides a separate path entirely and thus an opportunity to propagate the fail condition to vmx->fail via register without introducing undue pain. Using a register, as opposed to directly referencing vmx->fail, eliminates the need to pass the offset of 'fail', which will simplify moving the code to proper assembly in future patches.

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.
