[PATCH 2/2] KVM: SVM: Raise #UD if VMMCALL instruction is not intercepted
From: Kevin Cheng
Date: Mon Jan 05 2026 - 23:13:22 EST
The AMD APM states that if VMMCALL instruction is not intercepted, the
instruction raises a #UD exception.
Create a vmmcall exit handler that generates a #UD if a VMMCALL exit
from L2 is being handled by L0, which means that L1 did not intercept
the VMMCALL instruction.
