When #SMI is asserted, the CPU can be in interrupt shadow due to sti or mov ss. It is not mandatory in Intel/AMD prm to have the #SMI blocked during the shadow, and on top of that, since neither SVM nor VMX has true support for SMI window, waiting for one instruction would mean single stepping the guest. Instead, allow #SMI in this case, but both reset the interrupt window and stash its value in SMRAM to restore it on exit from SMM. This fixes rare failures seen mostly on windows guests on VMX, when #SMI falls on the sti instruction which mainfest in VM entry failure due to EFLAGS.IF not being set, but STI interrupt window still being set in the VMCS.

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.
