commit11988499e6upstream. KVM allows userspace to violate consistency checks related to the guest's CPUID model to some degree. Generally speaking, userspace has carte blanche when it comes to guest state so long as jamming invalid state won't negatively affect the host. Currently this is seems to be a non-issue as most of the interesting EFER checks are missing, e.g. NX and LME, but those will be added shortly. Proactively exempt userspace from the CPUID checks so as not to break userspace. Note, the efer_reserved_bits check still applies to userspace writes as that mask reflects the host's capabilities, e.g. KVM shouldn't allow a guest to run with NX=1 if it has been disabled in the host.

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.
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.
