Sean Christopherson df52c4f4b4 x86/virt: Eat faults on VMXOFF in reboot flows 
commit aec511ad15 upstream.

Silently ignore all faults on VMXOFF in the reboot flows as such faults
are all but guaranteed to be due to the CPU not being in VMX root.
Because (a) VMXOFF may be executed in NMI context, e.g. after VMXOFF but
before CR4.VMXE is cleared, (b) there's no way to query the CPU's VMX
state without faulting, and (c) the whole point is to get out of VMX
root, eating faults is the simplest way to achieve the desired behaior.

Technically, VMXOFF can fault (or fail) for other reasons, but all other
fault and failure scenarios are mode related, i.e. the kernel would have
to magically end up in RM, V86, compat mode, at CPL>0, or running with
the SMI Transfer Monitor active.  The kernel is beyond hosed if any of
those scenarios are encountered; trying to do something fancy in the
error path to handle them cleanly is pointless.

Fixes: 1e9931146c ("x86: asm/virtext.h: add cpu_vmxoff() inline function")

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.
