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.

When an EVMCS enabled L1 guest on KVM will tries doing enlightened VMEnter with EVMCS GPA = 0 the host crashes because the evmcs_gpa != vmx->nested.hv_evmcs_vmptr condition in nested_vmx_handle_enlightened_vmptrld() will evaluate to false (as nested.hv_evmcs_vmptr is zeroed after init). The crash will happen on vmx->nested.hv_evmcs pointer dereference. Another problematic EVMCS ptr value is '-1' but it only causes host crash after nested_release_evmcs() invocation. The problem is exactly the same as with '0', we mistakenly think that the EVMCS pointer hasn't changed and thus nested.hv_evmcs_vmptr is valid. Resolve the issue by adding an additional !vmx->nested.hv_evmcs check to nested_vmx_handle_enlightened_vmptrld(), this way we will always be trying kvm_vcpu_map() when nested.hv_evmcs is NULL and this is supposed to catch all invalid EVMCS GPAs. Also, initialize hv_evmcs_vmptr to '0' in nested_release_evmcs() to be consistent with initialization where we don't currently set hv_evmcs_vmptr to '-1'.
