When saving a vCPU's nested state, the vmcs02 is discarded. Only the
shadow vmcs12 is saved. The shadow vmcs12 contains all of the
information needed to reconstruct an equivalent vmcs02 on restore, but
we have to be able to deal with two contexts:
1. The nested state was saved immediately after an emulated VM-entry,
before the vmcs02 was ever launched.
2. The nested state was saved some time after the first successful
launch of the vmcs02.
Though it's an implementation detail rather than an architected bit,
vmx->nested_run_pending serves to distinguish between these two
cases. Hence, we save it as part of the vCPU's nested state. (Yes,
this is ugly.)
Even when restoring from a checkpoint, it may be necessary to build
the vmcs02 as if prepare_vmcs02 was called from nested_vmx_run. So,
the 'from_vmentry' argument should be dropped, and
vmx->nested_run_pending should be consulted instead. The nested state
restoration code then has to set vmx->nested_run_pending prior to
calling prepare_vmcs02. It's important that the restoration code set
vmx->nested_run_pending anyway, since the flag impacts things like
interrupt delivery as well.

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.
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.
