Subject: [PATCH v6 12/20] KVM: x86: Save/restore the nested flag of an exception
Save/restore the nested flag of an exception during VM save/restore
and live migration to ensure a correct event stack level is chosen
when a nested exception is injected through FRED event delivery.
Signed-off-by: Xin Li (Intel) <xin@...or.com>
Tested-by: Xuelian Guo <xuelian.guo@...el.com>
---
Change in v5:
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Change in v4:
* Add live migration support for exception nested flag (Chao Gao).
