Unlike VMREAD/VMWRITE/VMPTRLD, VMCLEAR is a valid instruction when enlightened VMCS is in use. TLFS has the following brief description: "The L1 hypervisor can execute a VMCLEAR instruction to transition an enlightened VMCS from the active to the non-active state". Normally, this change can be ignored as unmapping active eVMCS can be postponed until the next VMLAUNCH instruction but in case nested state is migrated with KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE/KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE, keeping eVMCS mapped may result in its synchronization with VMCS12 and this is incorrect: L1 hypervisor is free to reuse inactive eVMCS memory for something else. Inactive eVMCS after VMCLEAR can just be unmapped.

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.
