The guest in sync_regs_test does raw ucalls by directly accessing the
ucall IO port. It makes these ucalls without setting %rdi to a `struct
ucall`, which is what a ucall uses to pass messages. The issue is that
if the host did a get_ucall (the receiver side), it would try to access
the `struct ucall` at %rdi=0 which would lead to an error ("No mapping
for vm virtual address, gva: 0x0").
This issue is currently benign as there is no get_ucall in
sync_regs_test; however, that will change in the next commit as it
changes the unhandled exception reporting mechanism to use ucalls. In
that case, every vcpu_run is followed by a get_ucall to check if the
guest is trying to report an unhandled exception.
Fix this in advance by setting %rdi to a UCALL_NONE struct ucall for the
sync_regs_test guest.
Tested with gcc-[8,9,10], and clang-[9,11].

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.
