Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] KVM: SVM: Fix guest not booting w/ AVIC enabled
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 10:42:39 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1505230962-86304-1-git-send-email-suravee.suthikulpanit@amd.com> (raw)

Certain QEMU options fails to boot VM guest w/ SVM AVIC enabled
(e.g. modprobe kvm_amd avic=1). Investigation shows that this mainly
due to AVIC hardware does not trap into hypervisor when guest OS
writes to APIC_EOI register. 

The boot hang is caused by missing timer interrupt when using in-kernel
PIT model (e.g. launch qemu w/ '-no-hpet' option) since it requires
irq acknowledgmen before injecting another interrupt in case
irq re-injection is enabled (normally default).

Changes from V1 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/5/826)
 * Consolidate irqchip_split() check to only one place (per Radim). 

Suravee Suthikulpanit (3):
  KVM: SVM: Refactor AVIC vcpu initialization into avic_init_vcpu()
  KVM: Add struct kvm_vcpu pointer parameter to get_enable_apicv()
  KVM: SVM: Add irqchip_split() checks before enabling AVIC
