Vitaly Kuznetsov 6cbbaab60f KVM: nVMX: Allow VMREAD when Enlightened VMCS is in use
Hyper-V TLFS explicitly forbids VMREAD and VMWRITE instructions when
Enlightened VMCS interface is in use:

"Any VMREAD or VMWRITE instructions while an enlightened VMCS is
active is unsupported and can result in unexpected behavior.""

Windows 11 + WSL2 seems to ignore this, attempts to VMREAD VMCS field
0x4404 ("VM-exit interruption information") are observed. Failing
these attempts with nested_vmx_failInvalid() makes such guests
unbootable.

Microsoft confirms this is a Hyper-V bug and claims that it'll get fixed
eventually but for the time being we need a workaround. (Temporary) allow
VMREAD to get data from the currently loaded Enlightened VMCS.

Note: VMWRITE instructions remain forbidden, it is not clear how to
handle them properly and hopefully won't ever be needed.

README

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.
