Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: SVM: Initialize AVIC VMCB fields if AVIC is enabled with in-kernel APIC
Date: Tue,  3 Feb 2026 11:07:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203190711.458413-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260203190711.458413-1-seanjc@google.com>

Initialize all per-vCPU AVIC control fields in the VMCB if AVIC is enabled
in KVM and the VM has an in-kernel local APIC, i.e. if it's _possible_ the
vCPU could activate AVIC at any point in its lifecycle.  Configuring the
VMCB if and only if AVIC is active "works" purely because of optimizations
in kvm_create_lapic() to speculatively set apicv_active if AVIC is enabled
*and* to defer updates until the first KVM_RUN.  In quotes because KVM
likely won't do the right thing if kvm_apicv_activated() is false, i.e. if
a vCPU is created while APICv is inhibited at the VM level for whatever
reason.  E.g. if the inhibit is *removed* before KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE is
handled in KVM_RUN, then __kvm_vcpu_update_apicv() will elide calls to
vendor code due to seeing "apicv_active == activate".

Cleaning up the initialization code will also allow fixing a bug where KVM
incorrectly leaves CR8 interception enabled when AVIC is activated without
creating a mess with respect to whether AVIC is activated or not.
