Use the recently introduced KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT to properly emulate shutdown if RSM from SMM fails. Note, entering shutdown after clearing the SMM flag and restoring NMI blocking is architecturally correct with respect to AMD's APM, which KVM also uses for SMRAM layout and RSM NMI blocking behavior. The APM says: An RSM causes a processor shutdown if an invalid-state condition is found in the SMRAM state-save area. Only an external reset, external processor-initialization, or non-maskable external interrupt (NMI) can cause the processor to leave the shutdown state. Of note is processor-initialization (INIT) as a valid shutdown wake event, as INIT is blocked by SMM, implying that entering shutdown also forces the CPU out of SMM. For recent Intel CPUs, restoring NMI blocking is technically wrong, but so is restoring NMI blocking in the first place, and Intel's RSM "architecture" is such a mess that just about anything is allowed and can be justified as micro-architectural behavior. Per the SDM: On Pentium 4 and later processors, shutdown will inhibit INTR and A20M but will not change any of the other inhibits. On these processors, NMIs will be inhibited if no action is taken in the SMI handler to uninhibit them (see Section 34.8). where Section 34.8 says: When the processor enters SMM while executing an NMI handler, the processor saves the SMRAM state save map but does not save the attribute to keep NMI interrupts disabled. Potentially, an NMI could be latched (while in SMM or upon exit) and serviced upon exit of SMM even though the previous NMI handler has still not completed. I.e. RSM unconditionally unblocks NMI, but shutdown on RSM does not, which is in direct contradiction of KVM's behavior. But, as mentioned above, KVM follows AMD architecture and restores NMI blocking on RSM, so that micro-architectural detail is already lost. And for Pentium era CPUs, SMI# can break shutdown, meaning that at least some Intel CPUs fully leave SMM when entering shutdown: In the shutdown state, Intel processors stop executing instructions until a RESET#, INIT# or NMI# is asserted. While Pentium family processors recognize the SMI# signal in shutdown state, P6 family and Intel486 processors do not. In other words, the fact that Intel CPUs have implemented the two extremes gives KVM carte blanche when it comes to honoring Intel's architecture for handling shutdown during RSM.

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.
