The underlying problem is that an svm instruction has been executed, but svm is disabled. Since kvm enables svm unconditionally on all processors on startup, there are only a few paths that can potentially trigger this:
- another virtualization module turned svm off - cpu hotadd/hotremove (suspend/resume triggers this) - something did a read-modify-write cycle on cr4 (which contains the svm enable bit) while kvm enabled that bit - core was turned off (does linux power management do that?)
Anything ring a bell?
