KVM currently updates PC (and the corresponding exception state) using a two phase approach: first by setting a set of flags, then by converting these flags into a state update when the vcpu is about to enter the guest. However, this creates a disconnect with userspace if the vcpu thread returns there with any exception/PC flag set. In this case, the exposed context is wrong, as userspace doesn't have access to these flags (they aren't architectural). It also means that these flags are preserved across a reset, which isn't expected. To solve this problem, force an explicit synchronisation of the exception state on vcpu exit to userspace. As an optimisation for nVHE systems, only perform this when there is something pending.

README
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.
