A secure storage violation is triggered when a protected guest tries to access secure memory that has been mapped erroneously, or that belongs to a different protected guest or to the ultravisor. With upcoming patches, protected guests will be able to trigger secure storage violations in normal operation. This happens for example if a protected guest is rebooted with deferred destroy enabled and the new guest is also protected. When the new protected guest touches pages that have not yet been destroyed, and thus are accounted to the previous protected guest, a secure storage violation is raised. This patch adds handling of secure storage violations for protected guests. This exception is handled by first trying to destroy the page, because it is expected to belong to a defunct protected guest where a destroy should be possible. Note that a secure page can only be destroyed if its protected VM does not have any CPUs, which only happens when the protected VM is being terminated. If that fails, a normal export of the page is attempted. This means that pages that trigger the exception will be made non-secure (in one way or another) before attempting to use them again for a different secure guest.

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.
