Leave nested mode before synthesizing shutdown (a.k.a. TRIPLE_FAULT) if
RSM fails when resuming L2 (a.k.a. guest mode). Architecturally, shutdown
on RSM occurs _before_ the transition back to guest mode on both Intel and
AMD.
On Intel, per the SDM pseudocode, SMRAM state is loaded before critical
VMX state:
restore state normally from SMRAM;
...
CR4.VMXE := value stored internally;
IF internal storage indicates that the logical processor had been in
VMX operation (root or non-root)
THEN
enter VMX operation (root or non-root);
restore VMX-critical state as defined in Section 32.14.1;
...
restore current VMCS pointer;
FI;
AMD's APM is both less clearcut and more explicit. Because AMD CPUs save
VMCB and guest state in SMRAM itself, given the lack of anything in the
APM to indicate a shutdown in guest mode is possible, a straightforward
reading of the clause on invalid state is that _what_ state is invalid is
irrelevant, i.e. all roads lead to shutdown.
An RSM causes a processor shutdown if an invalid-state condition is
found in the SMRAM state-save area.
This fixes a bug found by syzkaller where synthesizing shutdown for L2
led to a nested VM-Exit (if L1 is intercepting shutdown), which in turn
caused KVM to complain about trying to cancel a nested VM-Enter (see

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 reStructuredText 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.
