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.

SEV guests fail to boot on a system that supports the PCID feature. While emulating the RSM instruction, KVM reads the guest CR3 and calls kvm_set_cr3(). If the vCPU is in the long mode, kvm_set_cr3() does a sanity check for the CR3 value. In this case, it validates whether the value has any reserved bits set. The reserved bit range is 63:cpuid_maxphysaddr(). When AMD memory encryption is enabled, the memory encryption bit is set in the CR3 value. The memory encryption bit may fall within the KVM reserved bit range, causing the KVM emulation failure. Introduce a new field cr3_lm_rsvd_bits in kvm_vcpu_arch which will cache the reserved bits in the CR3 value. This will be initialized to rsvd_bits(cpuid_maxphyaddr(vcpu), 63). If the architecture has any special bits(like AMD SEV encryption bit) that needs to be masked from the reserved bits, should be cleared in vendor specific kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_after_set_cpuid handler.
