Without at least minimal handling for split lock detection induced #AC,
VMX will just run into the same problem as the VMWare hypervisor, which
was reported by Kenneth.

It will inject the #AC blindly into the guest whether the guest is
prepared or not.

Provide a function for guest mode which acts depending on the host
SLD mode. If mode == sld_warn, treat it like user space, i.e. emit a
warning, disable SLD and mark the task accordingly. Otherwise force
SIGBUS.

 [ bp: Add a !CPU_SUP_INTEL stub for handle_guest_split_lock(). ]

History
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.
