Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 00/20] KVM: x86: Backports for 6.6.y
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 17:25:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250815002540.2375664-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Same spiel as the 6.1.y collection...
This is a collection of backports for patches that were Cc'd to stable,
but failed to apply, along with their dependencies.
Note, Sasha already posted[1][2] these (and I acked them):
KVM: VMX: Allow guest to set DEBUGCTL.RTM_DEBUG if RTM is supported
KVM: x86/pmu: Gate all "unimplemented MSR" prints on report_ignored_msrs
KVM: VMX: Extract checking of guest's DEBUGCTL into helper
KVM: nVMX: Check vmcs12->guest_ia32_debugctl on nested VM-Enter
KVM: VMX: Wrap all accesses to IA32_DEBUGCTL with getter/setter APIs
I'm including them here to hopefully make life easier for y'all, and because
the order they are presented here is the preferred ordering, i.e. should be
the same ordering as the original upstream patches.
But, if you end up grabbing Sasha's patches first, it's not a big deal as the
only true dependencies is that the DEBUGCTL.RTM_DEBUG patch needs to land
before "Check vmcs12->guest_ia32_debugctl on nested VM-Enter".
Many of the patches to get to the last patch (the DEBUGCTLMSR_FREEZE_IN_SMM
fix) are dependencies that arguably shouldn't be backported to LTS kernels.
I opted to do the backports because none of the patches are scary (if it was
1-3 dependency patches instead of 8 I wouldn't hesitate), and there's a decent
chance they'll be dependencies for future fixes.
