Sean Christopherson 593a5c2e3c KVM: nVMX: Unconditionally clear mtf_pending on nested VM-Exit
Clear mtf_pending on nested VM-Exit instead of handling the clear on a
case-by-case basis in vmx_check_nested_events().  The pending MTF should
never survive nested VM-Exit, as it is a property of KVM's run of the
current L2, i.e. should never affect the next L2 run by L1.  In practice,
this is likely a nop as getting to L1 with nested_run_pending is
impossible, and KVM doesn't correctly handle morphing a pending exception
that occurs on a prior injected exception (need for re-injected exception
being the other case where MTF isn't cleared).  However, KVM will
hopefully soon correctly deal with a pending exception on top of an
injected exception.

Add a TODO to document that KVM has an inversion priority bug between
SMIs and MTF (and trap-like #DBS), and that KVM also doesn't properly
save/restore MTF across SMI/RSM.

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.
