[PATCH 2/3] KVM: x86: Move nEPT exit_qualification field from kvm_vcpu_arch to x86_exception

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Feb 09 2024 - 17:20:18 EST


Move the exit_qualification field that is used to track information about
in-flight nEPT violations from "struct kvm_vcpu_arch" to "x86_exception",
i.e. associate the information with the actual nEPT violation instead of
the vCPU. To handle bits that are pulled from vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION,
i.e. that are propagated from the "original" EPT violation VM-Exit, simply
grab them from the VMCS on-demand when injecting a nEPT Violation or a PML
Full VM-exit.

Aside from being ugly, having an exit_qualification field in kvm_vcpu_arch
is outright dangerous, e.g. see commit d7f0a00e438d ("KVM: VMX: Report
up-to-date exit qualification to userspace").

Opportunstically add a comment to call out that PML Full and EPT Violation
VM-Exits use the same bit to report NMI blocking information.
