Jim Mattson 91e86d225e kvm: x86: Add payload operands to kvm_multiple_exception
kvm_multiple_exception now takes two additional operands: has_payload
and payload, so that updates to CR2 (and DR6 under VMX) can be delayed
until the exception is delivered. This is necessary to properly
emulate VMX or SVM hardware behavior for nested virtualization.

The new behavior is triggered by
vcpu->kvm->arch.exception_payload_enabled, which will (later) be set
by a new per-VM capability, KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD.

README

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.
