[ Upstream commit cdf85e0c5dc766fc7fc779466280e454a6d04f87 ]
Inject a #GP instead of synthesizing triple fault to try to avoid killing the guest if emulation of an SEV guest fails due to encountering the SMAP erratum. The injected #GP may still be fatal to the guest, e.g. if the userspace process is providing critical functionality, but KVM should make every attempt to keep the guest alive.
