[PATCH V2 2/5] KVM: SVM: Inject #UD for STGI if EFER.SVME=0 and SVM Lock and DEV are not available

From: Kevin Cheng

Date: Mon Jan 12 2026 - 12:45:43 EST


The AMD APM states that STGI causes a #UD if SVM is not enabled and
neither SVM Lock nor the device exclusion vector (DEV) are supported.
Fix the STGI exit handler by injecting #UD when these conditions are
met.
