'data' should be a 'u64 *', and 'ndata' should be a 'u8' that is actual ndata as
opposed to the size.  The obvious alternative would be to rename ndata to size,
but IMO that's unnecessarily complex, it's much easier to force the caller to work
with u64s.  That also reduces the probablity of KVM mangling data[] by dumping
unrelated fields into a single data[] entry, or by leaving stale chunks (if the
incoming data is not a multiple of 8 bytes).

NAK on exporting this particular helper, it consumes vcpu->arch.emulate_ctxt,
which ideally wouldn't even be visible to vendor code (stupid SVM erratum).  The
emulation context will rarely, if ever, be valid if this is called from vendor code.

The SGX call is effectively guarded by instruction_bytes=false, but that's a
messy approach as the handle_emulation_failure() patch is the _only_ case where
emulate_ctxt can be valid.

As mentioned in the prior patch, exit_reason is probably best kept to a u32 at
this time.

Oooh, you're dumping all the fields in kvm_run.  That took me forever to realize
because the struct is named "exit_reason".  Unless there's a naming conflict,
'data' would be the simplest, and if that's already taken, maybe 'info'?

I'm also not sure an anonymous struct is going to be the easiest to maintain.
I do like that the fields all have names, but on the other hand the data should
be padded so that each field is in its own data[] entry when dumped to userspace.
IMO, the padding complexity isn't worth the naming niceness since this code
doesn't actually care about what each field contains.

Retrieiving the exit reason and info should probably be in the inner helper, the
only case where the info will be stale is the VMX !unrestricted_guest
handle_invalid_guest_state() path, but even then I think the last VM-Exit info
would be interesting/relevant.  That should allow for a cleaner API too.

This is what I came up with after a fair bit of massaging.  The get_exit_info()
call is beyond gross, but I still think I like it more than a struct?  A
build-time assertion that the struct size is a multiple of 8 would allay my
concerns over leaking stack state to userspace, so I'm not totally opposed to it.

		u32 exit_reason;
		u32 pad1;
		u64 info1;
		u64 info2;
		u32 intr_info;
		u32 pad2;
		u32 error_code;
		u32 pad3;
	} info;
	u64 ninfo = sizeof(info) / sizeof(u64);

	BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(info) % sizeof(u64));

	 * padding does not leak stack data to userspace.
