Commit f3c18e9342 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use XICS hypercalls when
running as a nested hypervisor") added nested HV tests in XICS
hypercalls, but not all are required.
* icp_eoi is only called by kvmppc_deliver_irq_passthru which is only
called by kvmppc_check_passthru which is only caled by
kvmppc_read_one_intr.
* kvmppc_read_one_intr is only called by kvmppc_read_intr which is only
called by the L0 HV rmhandlers code.
* kvmhv_rm_send_ipi is called by:
- kvmhv_interrupt_vcore which is only called by kvmhv_commence_exit
which is only called by the L0 HV rmhandlers code.
- icp_send_hcore_msg which is only called by icp_rm_set_vcpu_irq.
- icp_rm_set_vcpu_irq which is only called by icp_rm_try_update
- icp_rm_set_vcpu_irq is not nested HV safe because it writes to
LPCR directly without a kvmhv_on_pseries test. Nested handlers
should not in general be using the rm handlers.
The important test seems to be in kvmppc_ipi_thread, which sends the
virt-mode H_IPI handler kick to use smp_call_function rather than
msgsnd.

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.
