[PATCH 0/5] KVM: Add a kvm_run flag to signal need for completion

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

Add a flag to kvm_run, KVM_RUN_NEEDS_COMPLETION, that is set by KVM to
inform userspace that KVM_RUN needs to be re-invoked prior to state
save/restore.  The current approach of relying on KVM developers to
update documentation, and on VMM developers to read said documentation,
is brittle and error prone.

Note, this series is *very* lightly tested (borderline RFC).

Sean Christopherson (5):
  KVM: x86: Document that KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL requires completion
  KVM: Clear vcpu->run->flags at start of KVM_RUN for all architectures
  KVM: Add a common kvm_run flag to communicate an exit needs completion
  KVM: selftests: Provide separate helper for KVM_RUN with
    immediate_exit
  KVM: selftests: Rely on KVM_RUN_NEEDS_COMPLETION to complete userspace
    exits
