Zero vmcs.HOST_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP when initializing *constant* host state
if and only if SYSENTER cannot be used, i.e. the kernel is a 64-bit
kernel and is not emulating 32-bit syscalls. As the name suggests,
vmx_set_constant_host_state() is intended for state that is *constant*.
When SYSENTER is used, SYSENTER_ESP isn't constant because stacks are
per-CPU, and the VMCS must be updated whenever the vCPU is migrated to a
new CPU. The logic in vmx_vcpu_load_vmcs() doesn't differentiate between
"never loaded" and "loaded on a different CPU", i.e. setting SYSENTER_ESP
on VMCS load also handles setting correct host state when the VMCS is
first loaded.
Because a VMCS must be loaded before it is initialized during vCPU RESET,
zeroing the field in vmx_set_constant_host_state() obliterates the value
that was written when the VMCS was loaded. If the vCPU is run before it
is migrated, the subsequent VM-Exit will zero out MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP,
leading to a #DF on the next 32-bit syscall.

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.
