Entering SMM while running in guest mode wasn't working very well because several pieces of the vcpu state were left set up for nested operation. Some of the issues observed: * L1 was getting unexpected VM exits (using L1 interception controls but running in SMM execution environment) * SMM handler couldn't write to vmx_set_cr4 because of incorrect validity checks predicated on nested.vmxon * MMU was confused (walk_mmu was still set to nested_mmu) Intel SDM actually prescribes the logical processor to "leave VMX operation" upon entering SMM in 34.14.1 Default Treatment of SMI Delivery. What we need to do is basically get out of guest mode and set nested.vmxon to false for the duration of SMM. All this completely transparent to L1, i.e. L1 is not given control and no L1 observable state changes. To avoid code duplication this commit takes advantage of the existing nested vmexit and run functionality, perhaps at the cost of efficiency. To get out of guest mode, nested_vmx_vmexit with exit_reason == -1 is called, a trick already used in vmx_leave_nested. Re-entering is cleaner, using enter_vmx_non_root_mode. This commit fixes running Windows Server 2016 with Hyper-V enabled in a VM with OVMF firmware (OVMF_CODE-need-smm.fd).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
