On successful nested VM-Enter, check for pending interrupts and convert
the highest priority interrupt to a pending posted interrupt if it
matches L2's notification vector. If the vCPU receives a notification
interrupt before nested VM-Enter (assuming L1 disables IRQs before doing
VM-Enter), the pending interrupt (for L1) should be recognized and
processed as a posted interrupt when interrupts become unblocked after
VM-Enter to L2.
This fixes a bug where L1/L2 will get stuck in an infinite loop if L1 is
trying to inject an interrupt into L2 by setting the appropriate bit in
L2's PIR and sending a self-IPI prior to VM-Enter (as opposed to KVM's
method of manually moving the vector from PIR->vIRR/RVI). KVM will
observe the IPI while the vCPU is in L1 context and so won't immediately
morph it to a posted interrupt for L2. The pending interrupt will be
seen by vmx_check_nested_events(), cause KVM to force an immediate exit
after nested VM-Enter, and eventually be reflected to L1 as a VM-Exit.
After handling the VM-Exit, L1 will see that L2 has a pending interrupt
in PIR, send another IPI, and repeat until L2 is killed.
Note, posted interrupts require virtual interrupt deliveriy, and virtual
interrupt delivery requires exit-on-interrupt, ergo interrupts will be
unconditionally unmasked on VM-Enter if posted interrupts are enabled.

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.
