Subject[PATCH v2 0/5] RFC: KVM: SVM: Allow L1's AVIC to co-exist with nesting
Date
This patch series aims to lift long standing restriction of
using AVIC only when nested virtualization is not exposed
to the guest.

Notes about specific patches:

Patch 1 - this is an unrelated fix to KVM for a corner case I found
while writing a unit test for the feature.

Patch 2 addresses the fact that AVIC appears to be disabled
in CPUID on several Milan systems I am tesing on.

This adds a workaround (with a big warning and a kernel taint) to enable
it anyway if you really know what you are doing.

Patch 3 is from Paolo, which was done after our long discussion about the
various races that AVIC inhibition is subject to. Thanks Paolo!
It replaces two patches I sent in the previous version which attempted
to fix the same issue but weren't quite right.

Patch 4 is the more or less the same patch 5 in V1, but with proper
justification.

Patch 6 is the patch that adds the AVIC co-existance itself and
in this version I fixed (and partially tested) it in regard to AVIC inhibition
due to interrupt window.

Everything was tested on a Zen3 (Milan) machine.

On Zen2 machines, the errata #1235 makes my tests fail quite fast.
For general use though, most of the time this errata doesn't cause
long hangs.

Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky

Maxim Levitsky (5):
KVM: nSVM: deal with L1 hypervisor that intercepts interrupts but lets
L2 control EFLAGS.IF
KVM: SVM: allow to force AVIC to be enabled
KVM: SVM: fix race between interrupt delivery and AVIC inhibition
KVM: x86: don't touch irr_pending in kvm_apic_update_apicv when
inhibiting it
KVM: SVM: allow AVIC to co-exist with a nested guest running
