[RESEND PATCH v8 4/4] i386: add notify VM exit support

2022-09-29 Thread Chenyi Qiang
There are cases that malicious virtual machine can cause CPU stuck (due to event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window means no event (NMI, SMI and IRQ) can be delivered. It leads the CPU to be unavailable to host or other VMs.
