Paolo Bonzini 64b5bd2704 KVM: nSVM: ignore L1 interrupt window while running L2 with V_INTR_MASKING=1
If a nested VM is started while an IRQ was pending and with
V_INTR_MASKING=1, the behavior of the guest depends on host IF.  If it
is 1, the VM should exit immediately, before executing the first
instruction of the guest, because VMRUN sets GIF back to 1.

If it is 0 and the host has VGIF, however, at the time of the VMRUN
instruction L0 is running the guest with a pending interrupt window
request.  This interrupt window request is completely irrelevant to
L2, since IF only controls virtual interrupts, so this patch drops
INTERCEPT_VINTR from the VMCB while running L2 under these circumstances.
To simplify the code, both steps of enabling the interrupt window
(setting the VINTR intercept and requesting a fake virtual interrupt
in svm_inject_irq) are grouped in the svm_set_vintr function, and
likewise for dismissing the interrupt window request in svm_clear_vintr.

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.
