Re-inject INT3/INTO instead of retrying the instruction if the CPU encountered an intercepted exception while vectoring the software exception, e.g. if vectoring INT3 encounters a #PF and KVM is using shadow paging. Retrying the instruction is architecturally wrong, e.g. will result in a spurious #DB if there's a code breakpoint on the INT3/O, and lack of re-injection also breaks nested virtualization, e.g. if L1 injects a software exception and vectoring the injected exception encounters an exception that is intercepted by L0 but not L1. Due to, ahem, deficiencies in the SVM architecture, acquiring the next RIP may require flowing through the emulator even if NRIPS is supported, as the CPU clears next_rip if the VM-Exit is due to an exception other than "exceptions caused by the INT3, INTO, and BOUND instructions". To deal with this, "skip" the instruction to calculate next_rip (if it's not already known), and then unwind the RIP write and any side effects (RFLAGS updates). Save the computed next_rip and use it to re-stuff next_rip if injection doesn't complete. This allows KVM to do the right thing if next_rip was known prior to injection, e.g. if L1 injects a soft event into L2, and there is no backing INTn instruction, e.g. if L1 is injecting an arbitrary event. Note, it's impossible to guarantee architectural correctness given SVM's architectural flaws. E.g. if the guest executes INTn (no KVM injection), an exit occurs while vectoring the INTn, and the guest modifies the code stream while the exit is being handled, KVM will compute the incorrect next_rip due to "skipping" the wrong instruction. A future enhancement to make this less awful would be for KVM to detect that the decoded instruction is not the correct INTn and drop the to-be-injected soft event (retrying is a lesser evil compared to shoving the wrong RIP on the exception stack).

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.
