Subject: [PATCH 07/11] KVM: selftests: Add x2APIC MSR test for inhibiting APICv while nested
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 01:32:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926053253.195597-8-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260926053253.195597-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Add a selftest to verify that KVM intercepts x2APIC MSR accesses for L1
after APICv is inhibited while L2 is active. This is a regression test for
an AVIC bug where KVM would skip updating x2APIC MSR intercepts while L2
is active, thus giving L1 access to a wide swath of L0's x2APIC surface.
