Replace the existing kvm_x86_ops.need_emulation_on_page_fault() with a more generic is_emulatable(), and unconditionally call the new function in x86_emulate_instruction(). KVM will use the generic hook to support multiple security related technologies that prevent emulation in one way or another. Similar to the existing AMD #NPF case where emulation of the current instruction is not possible due to lack of information, AMD's SEV-ES and Intel's SGX and TDX will introduce scenarios where emulation is impossible due to the guest's register state being inaccessible. And again similar to the existing #NPF case, emulation can be initiated by kvm_mmu_page_fault(), i.e. outside of the control of vendor-specific code. While the cause and architecturally visible behavior of the various cases are different, e.g. SGX will inject a #UD, AMD #NPF is a clean resume or complete shutdown, and SEV-ES and TDX "return" an error, the impact on the common emulation code is identical: KVM must stop emulation immediately and resume the guest. Query is_emulatable() in handle_ud() as well so that the force_emulation_prefix code doesn't incorrectly modify RIP before calling emulate_instruction() in the absurdly unlikely scenario that KVM encounters forced emulation in conjunction with "do not emulate".

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.
