Subject: [PATCH 3/4] KVM: VMX: Fix stale docs for kvm-intel.emulate_invalid_guest_state
Date: Tue,  7 Dec 2021 19:30:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211207193006.120997-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211207193006.120997-1-seanjc@google.com>

Update the documentation for kvm-intel's emulate_invalid_guest_state to
rectify the description of KVM's default behavior, and to document that
the behavior and thus parameter only applies to L1.

Fixes: a27685c33acc ("KVM: VMX: Emulate invalid guest state by default")
Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
