Calling down to EFI runtime services can result in the firmware performing VMGEXIT calls. The firmware is likely to use the GHCB of the OS (e.g., for setting EFI variables), so each GHCB in the system needs to be identity-mapped in the EFI page tables, as unencrypted, to avoid page faults.

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.
