Reload known good vCPU state if the vCPU triple faults in any of the
race_sync_regs() subtests, e.g. if KVM successfully injects an exception
(the vCPU isn't configured to handle exceptions). On Intel, the VMCS
is preserved even after shutdown, but AMD's APM states that the VMCB is
undefined after a shutdown and so KVM synthesizes an INIT to sanitize
vCPU/VMCB state, e.g. to guard against running with a garbage VMCB.
The synthetic INIT results in the vCPU never exiting to userspace, as it
gets put into Real Mode at the reset vector, which is full of zeros (as is
GPA 0 and beyond), and so executes ADD for a very, very long time.

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.
