What about host one? Can you ftrace the failure? > Ugh, it looks like guest dmesg but there are KVM messages there too ("[ 281.443662] kvm [2452]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0xe8" is unhandled access to MSR_IA32_APERF I was talking about above), so I guess this is nested guest invocation? Does it happen in non nested guest? -- Gleb.
