[PATCH v5 33/34] KVM: x86/vmx: call external_interrupt() to handle IRQ in IRQ caused VM exits

From: Xin Li
Date: Mon Mar 06 2023 - 22:08:25 EST


When FRED is enabled, IDT is gone, thus call external_interrupt() to handle
IRQ in IRQ caused VM exits.

Create an event return stack frame with the host context immediately after
a VM exit for calling external_interrupt(). All other fields of the pt_regs
structure are cleared to 0. Refer to the discussion about the register values
in the pt_regs structure at:

https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/ef2c54f7-14b9-dcbb-c3c4-1533455e7a18@xxxxxxxxxx/

Changes since v4:
*) Do NOT use the term "injection", which in the KVM context means to
reinject an event into the guest (Sean Christopherson).
*) Use cs/ss instead of csx/ssx when initializing the pt_regs structure
for calling external_interrupt(), otherwise it breaks i386 build.
