Maxim Levitsky 5d1ec45652 KVM: nSVM: Raise event on nested VM exit if L1 doesn't intercept IRQs
If L1 doesn't intercept interrupts, then KVM will use vmcb02's V_IRQ
to detect an interrupt window for L1 IRQs.  On a subsequent nested
VM-Exit, KVM might need to copy the current V_IRQ from vmcb02 to vmcb01
to continue waiting for an interrupt window, i.e. if there is still a
pending IRQ for L1.

Raise KVM_REQ_EVENT on nested exit if L1 isn't intercepting IRQs to ensure
that KVM will re-enable interrupt window detection if needed.

Note that this is a theoretical bug because KVM already raises
KVM_REQ_EVENT on each nested VM exit, because the nested VM exit resets
RFLAGS and kvm_set_rflags() raises the KVM_REQ_EVENT unconditionally.

Explicitly raise KVM_REQ_EVENT for the interrupt window case to avoid
having an unnecessary dependency on kvm_set_rflags(), and to document
the scenario.

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.
