Subject: [PATCH 4.14 23/29] KVM: VMX: Fix stale docs for kvm-intel.emulate_invalid_guest_state
Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2021 16:27:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211227151319.232863626@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211227151318.475251079@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
commit 0ff29701ffad9a5d5a24344d8b09f3af7b96ffda upstream.
Update the documentation for kvm-intel's emulate_invalid_guest_state to
rectify the description of KVM's default behavior, and to document that
the behavior and thus parameter only applies to L1.
Fixes: a27685c33acc ("KVM: VMX: Emulate invalid guest state by default")

+ [KVM,Intel] Disable emulation of invalid guest state.
+ Ignored if kvm-intel.enable_unrestricted_guest=1, as
+ guest state is never invalid for unrestricted guests.
+ This param doesn't apply to nested guests (L2), as KVM

kvm-intel.flexpriority=
[KVM,Intel] Disable FlexPriority feature (TPR shadow).
