Janakarajan Natarajan 640bd6e575 KVM: SVM: Enable Virtual GIF feature
Enable the Virtual GIF feature. This is done by setting bit 25 at position
60h in the vmcb.

With this feature enabled, the processor uses bit 9 at position 60h as the
virtual GIF when executing STGI/CLGI instructions.

Since the execution of STGI by the L1 hypervisor does not cause a return to
the outermost (L0) hypervisor, the enable_irq_window and enable_nmi_window
are modified.

The IRQ window will be opened even if GIF is not set, under the assumption
that on resuming the L1 hypervisor the IRQ will be held pending until the
processor executes the STGI instruction.

For the NMI window, the STGI intercept is set. This will assist in opening
the window only when GIF=1.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
