Summary: [Nested]L2 guest failed to start in VMware on KVM
Product: Virtualization
Version: unspecified
Kernel Version: 3.11.0-rc1
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: kvm
Assignee: virtualization_kvm@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
Reporter: chao.zhou@intel.com
Regression: No
Environment:
------------
Host OS (ia32/ia32e/IA64):ia32e
Guest OS (ia32/ia32e/IA64):ia32e

qemu.git Commit:aaa6a40194e9f204cb853f64ef3c1e170bb014e8
Host Kernel Version:3.11.0-rc1
Hardware:Ivytown_EP, Romley_EP
Bug detailed description:
--------------------------
vmware product doesn't support foreign hypervisor, so if you want to start
vmware in nested environment, please configure your vmware config file(.vmx)
and add vmx.allowNested = "TRUE".
But after enable this option, when trying to start or install a VM, vmware will
report 'intel VT-x implementation is incompatible with vmware'
note:
1.VMware product: VMware player and VMware Workstation
Reproduce steps:
----------------
1. qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 4G -smp 2 -net
nic,macaddr=00:12:34:12:42:14 -net tap,script=/etc/kvm/qemu-ifup win7.qcow -cpu
host
2.install VMware player
3.use VMware player
Current result:
----------------
'intel VT-x implementation is incompatible with vmware'
Expected result:
----------------
L2 guest can boot up successfully in VMware on KVM
Basic root-causing log:

kvm.git +qemu.git: fd275235_8b303011
test on Ivytown_EP
kernel version: 3.17.0-rc1
enable ignore_msrs(echo 1>/sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs), then create
L1 guest
qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -m 6G -smp 4 -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:5a:28:29
-net tap,script=/etc/kvm/qemu-ifup win7-nested.qcow2 -cpu host,-hypervisor
vmware boot up successfully

this commit fixed the bug:
commit a7c0b07d570848e50fce4d31ac01313484d6b844

KVM: nVMX: nested TPR shadow/threshold emulation
This patch fix bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61411
TPR shadow/threshold feature is important to speed up the Windows guest.
Besides, it is a must feature for certain VMM.
We map virtual APIC page address and TPR threshold from L1 VMCS. If
TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD VM exit is triggered by L2 guest and L1 interested
in, we inject it into L1 VMM for handling.

[Add PAGE_ALIGNED check, do not write useless virtual APIC page address
if TPR shadowing is disabled. - Paolo]
