[PATCH 7/7] KVM: VMX: Handle NMI VM-Exits in noinstr region

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Dec 13 2022 - 01:10:11 EST


Move VMX's handling of NMI VM-Exits into vmx_vcpu_enter_exit() so that
the NMI is handled prior to leaving the safety of noinstr. Handling the
NMI after leaving noinstr exposes the kernel to potential ordering
problems as an instrumentation-induced fault, e.g. #DB, #BP, #PF, etc.
will unblock NMIs when IRETing back to the faulting instruction.
