Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KVM: SVM: Disable x2AVIC RDMSR interception for MSRs KVM actually supports
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 15:24:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409222449.2013847-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409222449.2013847-1-seanjc@google.com>
Fix multiple (classes of) bugs with one stone by using KVM's mask of
readable local APIC registers to determine which x2APIC MSRs to pass
through (or not) when toggling x2AVIC on/off. The existing hand-coded
list of MSRs is wrong on multiple fronts:
- ARBPRI, DFR, and ICR2 aren't supported by x2APIC; disabling
interception is nonsensical and suboptimal (the access generates a
#VMEXIT that requires decoding the instruction).
- RRR is completely unsupported.
- AVIC currently fails to pass through the "range of vectors" registers,
IRR, ISR, and TMR, as e.g. X2APIC_MSR(APIC_IRR) only affects IRR0, and
thus only disables intercept for vectors 31:0 (which are the *least*
interesting registers).
Fixes: 4d1d7942e36a ("KVM: SVM: Introduce logic to (de)activate x2AVIC mode")
