Jim Mattson b058c30cdf KVM: x86: Introduce KVM_X86_QUIRK_VMCS12_ALLOW_FREEZE_IN_SMM commit `e2ffe85b6d` upstream. Add KVM_X86_QUIRK_VMCS12_ALLOW_FREEZE_IN_SMM to allow L1 to set FREEZE_IN_SMM in vmcs12's GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL field, as permitted prior to commit `6b1dd26544` ("KVM: VMX: Preserve host's DEBUGCTLMSR_FREEZE_IN_SMM while running the guest"). Enable the quirk by default for backwards compatibility (like all quirks); userspace can disable it via KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS2 for consistency with the constraints on WRMSR(IA32_DEBUGCTL). Note that the quirk only bypasses the consistency check. The vmcs02 bit is still owned by the host, and PMCs are not frozen during virtualized SMM. In particular, if a host administrator decides that PMCs should not be frozen during physical SMM, then L1 has no say in the matter.

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.
