As of commit8d860bbeed("kvm: vmx: Basic APIC virtualization controls have three settings"), KVM will disable VIRTUALIZE_APIC_ACCESSES when a nested guest writes APIC_BASE MSR and kvm-intel.flexpriority=0, whereas previously KVM would allow a nested guest to enable VIRTUALIZE_APIC_ACCESSES so long as it's supported in hardware. That is, KVM now advertises VIRTUALIZE_APIC_ACCESSES to a guest but doesn't (always) allow setting it when kvm-intel.flexpriority=0, and may even initially allow the control and then clear it when the nested guest writes APIC_BASE MSR, which is decidedly odd even if it doesn't cause functional issues. Hide the control completely when the module parameter is cleared. reported-by: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> Fixes:8d860bbeed("kvm: vmx: Basic APIC virtualization controls have three settings") Cc: Jim Mattson <jmattson@google.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
