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.

We should try to reinject previous events if any before trying to inject
new event if pending. If vmexit is triggered by L2 guest and L0 interested
in, we should reinject IDT-vectoring info to L2 through vmcs02 if any,
otherwise, we can consider new IRQs/NMIs which can be injected and call
nested events callback to switch from L2 to L1 if needed and inject the
proper vmexit events. However, 'commit 0ad3bed6c5ec ("kvm: nVMX: move
nested events check to kvm_vcpu_running")' results in the handle events
order reversely on non-APICv box. This patch fixes it by bailing out for
pending events and not consider new events in this scenario.

In HPT mode on POWER9, the ASDR register is supposed to record
segment information for hypervisor page faults. It turns out that
POWER9 DD1 does not record the page size information in the ASDR
for faults in guest real mode. We have the necessary information
in memory already, so by moving the checks for real mode that already
existed, we can use the in-memory copy. Since a load is likely to
be faster than reading an SPR, we do this unconditionally (not just
for POWER9 DD1).

The underlying nlmsg_multicast() already sets sk->sk_err for us to
notify socket overruns, so we should not do anything with this return
value. So we just call nfnetlink_set_err() if:
1) We fail to allocate the netlink message.
or
2) We don't have enough space in the netlink message to place attributes,
which means that we likely need to allocate a larger message.
Before this patch, the internal ESRCH netlink error code was propagated
to userspace, which is quite misleading. Netlink semantics mandate that
listeners just hit ENOBUFS if the socket buffer overruns.
