KVM: x86: Rename interrupt.pending to interrupt.injected
For exceptions & NMIs events, KVM code use the following coding convention: *) "pending" represents an event that should be injected to guest at some point but it's side-effects have not yet occurred. *) "injected" represents an event that it's side-effects have already occurred. However, interrupts don't conform to this coding convention. All current code flows mark interrupt.pending when it's side-effects have already taken place (For example, bit moved from LAPIC IRR to ISR). Therefore, it makes sense to just rename interrupt.pending to interrupt.injected. This change follows logic of previous commit 664f8e26b00c ("KVM: X86: Fix loss of exception which has not yet been injected") which changed exception to follow this coding convention as well. It is important to note that in case !lapic_in_kernel(vcpu), interrupt.pending usage was and still incorrect. In this case, interrrupt.pending can only be set using one of the following ioctls: KVM_INTERRUPT, KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS and KVM_SET_SREGS. Looking at how QEMU uses these ioctls, one can see that QEMU uses them either to re-set an "interrupt.pending" state it has received from KVM (via KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS interrupt.pending or via KVM_GET_SREGS interrupt_bitmap) or by dispatching a new interrupt from QEMU's emulated LAPIC which reset bit in IRR and set bit in ISR before sending ioctl to KVM. So it seems that indeed "interrupt.pending" in this case is also suppose to represent "interrupt.injected". However, kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() & kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr() is misusing (now named) interrupt.injected in order to return if there is a pending interrupt. This leads to nVMX/nSVM not be able to distinguish if it should exit from L2 to L1 on EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT on pending interrupt or should re-inject an injected interrupt. Therefore, add a FIXME at these functions for handling this issue. This patch introduce no semantics change.
