Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: fix MWAIT emulation for guests
Date: Thu,  4 May 2017 02:37:28 -0700	[thread overview]

The kvm-unit-tests/vmx.flat fails against instruction(mwait) intercept test.

Test suite: instruction intercept

This testcase will run mwait instruction unconditional in L2 w/o check mwait 
cpuid. The vmlauch/vmresume emulation will merge L0's requirements and L1's 
requests, kvm-unit-tests doesn't set MWAIT/MONITOR EXITING bits for vmcs12.
w/o commit 668fffa3f838 ("kvm: better MWAIT emulation for guests"), the 
MWAIT/MONITOR EXITING bits in vmcs02 will be set since it is set in vmcs01 
though not in vmcs12. However, w/ the commit the bits will not be set in vmcs02 
since the bits are both not set in vmcs01(if kvm_mwait_in_guest() returns true) 
and vmcs12.

L2 should not occupy all the cpu time on L0 when L2 is idle, this patch fix it 
by unconditional set MWAIT/MONITOR EXTING bits against vmcs02.
