Reject KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS if userspace attempts to disable MWAIT or HLT exits and KVM previously reported (via KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION) that disabling the exit(s) is not allowed. E.g. because MWAIT isn't supported or the CPU doesn't have an always-running APIC timer, or because KVM is configured to mitigate cross-thread vulnerabilities.

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 reStructuredText 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.
