Linux kernel source tree
We can easily route hardware interrupts directly into VM context when they target the "Fixed" or "LowPriority" delivery modes. However, on modes such as "SMI" or "Init", we need to go via KVM code to actually put the vCPU into a different mode of operation, so we can not post the interrupt Add code in the VMX and SVM PI logic to explicitly refuse to establish posted mappings for advanced IRQ deliver modes. This reflects the logic in __apic_accept_irq() which also only ever passes Fixed and LowPriority interrupts as posted interrupts into the guest. This fixes a bug I have with code which configures real hardware to inject virtual SMIs into my guest.

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.
