Sean Christopherson 52a9fcbc73 KVM: VMX: Optimize VMX instruction error and fault handling
Rework the VMX instruction helpers using asm-goto to branch directly
to error/fault "handlers" in lieu of using __ex(), i.e. the generic
____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot().  Branching directly to fault handling
code during fixup avoids the extra JMP that is inserted after every VMX
instruction when using the generic "fault on reboot" (see commit
3901336ed9, "x86/kvm: Don't call kvm_spurious_fault() from .fixup").

Opportunistically clean up the helpers so that they all have consistent
error handling and messages.

Leave the usage of ____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() (via __ex()) in
kvm_cpu_vmxoff() and nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() as is.  The VMXOFF
case is not a fast path, i.e. the cleanliness of __ex() is worth the
JMP, and the extra JMP in nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() is unavoidable.

Note, VMREAD cannot get the asm-goto treatment as output operands aren't
compatible with GCC's asm-goto due to internal compiler restrictions.

README

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.
