Subject[PATCH 21/42] KVM: VMX: Enhance invalid guest state emulation
Date
From: Mohammed Gamal <m.gamal005@gmail.com>

- Change returned handle_invalid_guest_state() to return relevant exit codes
- Move triggering the emulation from vmx_vcpu_run() to vmx_handle_exit()
- Return to userspace instead of repeatedly trying to emulate instructions that have already failed
