WARN if KVM attempts to allocate a shadow VMCS for vmcs02. KVM emulates VMCS shadowing but doesn't virtualize it, i.e. KVM should never allocate a "real" shadow VMCS for L2. The previous code WARNed but continued anyway with the allocation, presumably in an attempt to avoid NULL pointer dereference. However, alloc_vmcs (and hence alloc_shadow_vmcs) can fail, and indeed the sole caller does: if (enable_shadow_vmcs && !alloc_shadow_vmcs(vcpu)) goto out_shadow_vmcs; which makes it not a useful attempt.

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.
