[PATCH v3 50/75] x86/sev-es: Do not crash on #VC exceptions from user-space

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Tue Apr 28 2020 - 11:21:03 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Send SIGBUS to the user-space process that caused the #VC exception
instead of killing the machine. Also ratelimit the error messages so
that user-space can't flood the kernel log and add a prefix the the
messages printed for SEV-ES.
