guest xcr0 could leak into host when MCE happens in guest mode. Because
do_machine_check() could schedule out at a few places.
For example:
kvm_load_guest_xcr0
...
kvm_x86_ops->run(vcpu) {
vmx_vcpu_run
vmx_complete_atomic_exit
kvm_machine_check
do_machine_check
do_memory_failure
memory_failure
lock_page
In this case, host_xcr0 is 0x2ff, guest vcpu xcr0 is 0xff. After schedule
out, host cpu has guest xcr0 loaded (0xff).
In __switch_to {
switch_fpu_finish
copy_kernel_to_fpregs
XRSTORS
If any bit i in XSTATE_BV[i] == 1 and xcr0[i] == 0, XRSTORS will
generate #GP (In this case, bit 9). Then ex_handler_fprestore kicks in
and tries to reinitialize fpu by restoring init fpu state. Same story as
last #GP, except we get DOUBLE FAULT this time.

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.
