[PATCH v2 17/43] KVM: x86: Directly block (instead of "halting") UNINITIALIZED vCPUs

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Date: 2021-10-09 02:14:05
Also in: kvm, kvm-riscv, kvmarm, linux-arm-kernel, linux-riscv, lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Go directly to kvm_vcpu_block() when handling the case where userspace
attempts to run an UNINITIALIZED vCPU.  The vCPU is not halted, nor is it
likely that halt-polling will be successful in this case.
