As one of the arguments of the H_ENTER_NESTED hypercall, the nested hypervisor (L1) prepares a structure containing the values of various hypervisor-privileged registers with which it wants the nested guest (L2) to run. Since the nested HV runs in supervisor mode it needs the host to write to these registers. To stop a nested HV manipulating this mechanism and using a nested guest as a proxy to access a facility that has been made unavailable to it, we have a routine that sanitises the values of the HV registers before copying them into the nested guest's vcpu struct. However, when coming out of the guest the values are copied as they were back into L1 memory, which means that any sanitisation we did during guest entry will be exposed to L1 after H_ENTER_NESTED returns. This patch alters this sanitisation to have effect on the vcpu->arch registers directly before entering and after exiting the guest, leaving the structure that is copied back into L1 unchanged (except when we really want L1 to access the value, e.g the Cause bits of HFSCR).

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.
