Userspace should set the ret field of hypercall after handling

To test the TDX code in kvm-coco-queue, please apply the patch to the QEMU,
otherwise, TDX guest boot could fail.
A matching QEMU tree including this patch is here:
https://github.com/intel-staging/qemu-tdx/releases/tag/tdx-qemu- upstream-v6.1-fix_kvm_hypercall_return_value

Previously, the issue was not triggered because no one would modify the ret
value. But with the refactor patch for __kvm_emulate_hypercall() in KVM,
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20241128004344.4072099-7- seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx/, the
value could be modified.

Updating run->hypercall.ret is useful only when QEMU needs to re-enter the guest. For the case of ret < 0, QEMU will stop the vcpu.

IMHO, assign run->hypercall.ret anyway should be OK, no need to add a
per-condition on ret, although the value is not used when ret < 0.

Currently, since QEMU will stop the vcpu when ret < 0, this patch doesn't
convert ret to -Exxx that the ABI expects.

I was thinking if it is better to let each specific handling function to update run->hypercall.ret with its own logic. E.g., for this case, let kvm_handle_hc_map_gpa_range() to update the run->hypercall.ret.

Reusing the return value of the handling function to update
run->hypercall.ret seems not logically correct to me.


I think we might need re-think on the handling of KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL. E.g., in what error case should QEMU stop the vcpu, and in what case can QEMU return the error back to the guest via run->hypercall.ret.

Actually, I had the similar question before.
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/ d25cc62c-0f56-4be2-968a-63c8b1d63b5a@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

It might depends on the hypercall number?
Another option is QEMU always sets run->hypercall.ret appropriately and continues the vcpu thread.
