Non-nested guests have used the hvc instruction to initiate SMCCC calls into KVM. This is quite a poor fit for NV as hvc exceptions are always taken to EL2. In other words, KVM needs to unconditionally forward the hvc exception back into vEL2 to uphold the architecture. Instead, treat the smc instruction from vEL2 as we would a guest hypercall, thereby allowing the vEL2 to interact with KVM's hypercall surface. Note that on NV-capable hardware HCR_EL2.TSC causes smc instructions executed in non-secure EL1 to trap to EL2, even if EL3 is not implemented.

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.
