Explicitly clobber the guest IDT in the "delete memslot" test, which expects the deleted memslot to result in either a KVM emulation error, or a triple fault shutdown. A future change to the core selftests library will configuring the guest IDT and exception handlers by default, i.e. will install a guest #PF handler and put the guest into an infinite #NPF loop (the guest hits a !PRESENT SPTE when trying to vector a #PF, and KVM reinjects the #PF without fixing the #NPF, because there is no memslot). Note, it's not clear whether or not KVM's behavior is reasonable in this case, e.g. arguably KVM should try (and fail) to emulate in response to the #NPF. But barring a goofy/broken userspace, this scenario will likely never happen in practice. Punt the KVM investigation to the future.

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 reStructuredText 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.
