This can be reproduced by EPT=1, unrestricted_guest=N, emulate_invalid_state=Y or EPT=0, the trace of kvm-unit-tests/taskswitch2.flat is like below, it tries to emulate invalid guest state task-switch: kvm_exit: reason TASK_SWITCH rip 0x0 info 40000058 0 kvm_emulate_insn: 42000:0:0f 0b (0x2) kvm_emulate_insn: 42000:0:0f 0b (0x2) failed kvm_inj_exception: #UD (0x0) kvm_entry: vcpu 0 kvm_exit: reason TASK_SWITCH rip 0x0 info 40000058 0 kvm_emulate_insn: 42000:0:0f 0b (0x2) kvm_emulate_insn: 42000:0:0f 0b (0x2) failed kvm_inj_exception: #UD (0x0) ...................... It appears that the task-switch emulation updates rflags (and vm86 flag) only after the segments are loaded, causing vmx->emulation_required to be set, when in fact invalid guest state emulation is not needed. This patch fixes it by updating vmx->emulation_required after the rflags (and vm86 flag) is updated in task-switch emulation. Thanks Radim for moving the update to vmx__set_flags and adding Paolo's suggestion for the check.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
