Subject: KVM: nested VMX: disable perf cpuid reporting
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2014 18:24:57 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140918212457.GA9227@amt.cnet> (raw)


Initilization of L2 guest with -cpu host, on L1 guest with -cpu host 
triggers:

(qemu) KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0x7
...
nested_vmx_run: VMCS MSR_{LOAD,STORE} unsupported

Nested VMX MSR load/store support is not sufficient to 
allow perf for L2 guest.

Until properly fixed, trap CPUID and disable function 0xA.
