mainlining shenanigans
265e43530c
Emulate a full #INIT instead of simply initializing the VMCB if the
guest hits a shutdown. Initializing the VMCB but not other vCPU state,
much of which is mirrored by the VMCB, results in incoherent and broken
vCPU state.
Ideally, KVM would not automatically init anything on shutdown, and
instead put the vCPU into e.g. KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED and force
userspace to explicitly INIT or RESET the vCPU. Even better would be to
add KVM_MP_STATE_SHUTDOWN, since technically NMI can break shutdown
(and SMI on Intel CPUs).
But, that ship has sailed, and emulating #INIT is the next best thing as
that has at least some connection with reality since there exist bare
metal platforms that automatically INIT the CPU if it hits shutdown.

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.
