Liran Alon f27a85c498 KVM: nVMX: Re-evaluate L1 pending events when running L2 and L1 got posted-interrupt
In case posted-interrupt was delivered to CPU while it is in host
(outside guest), then posted-interrupt delivery will be done by
calling sync_pir_to_irr() at vmentry after interrupts are disabled.

sync_pir_to_irr() will check vmx->pi_desc.control ON bit and if
set, it will sync vmx->pi_desc.pir to IRR and afterwards update RVI to
ensure virtual-interrupt-delivery will dispatch interrupt to guest.

However, it is possible that L1 will receive a posted-interrupt while
CPU runs at host and is about to enter L2. In this case, the call to
sync_pir_to_irr() will indeed update the L1's APIC IRR but
vcpu_enter_guest() will then just resume into L2 guest without
re-evaluating if it should exit from L2 to L1 as a result of this
new pending L1 event.

To address this case, if sync_pir_to_irr() has a new L1 injectable
interrupt and CPU is running L2, we force exit GUEST_MODE which will
result in another iteration of vcpu_run() run loop which will call
kvm_vcpu_running() which will call check_nested_events() which will
handle the pending L1 event properly.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
