RSM emulation is currently broken on VMX when the interrupted guest has CR4.VMXE=1. Rather than dance around the issue of HF_SMM_MASK being set when loading SMSTATE into architectural state, ideally RSM emulation itself would be reworked to clear HF_SMM_MASK prior to loading non-SMM architectural state. Ostensibly, the only motivation for having HF_SMM_MASK set throughout the loading of state from the SMRAM save state area is so that the memory accesses from GET_SMSTATE() are tagged with role.smm. Load all of the SMRAM save state area from guest memory at the beginning of RSM emulation, and load state from the buffer instead of reading guest memory one-by-one. This paves the way for clearing HF_SMM_MASK prior to loading state, and also aligns RSM with the enter_smm() behavior, which fills a buffer and writes SMRAM save state in a single go.

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.
