Subject: [PATCH v1] x86/hyperv: Reserve 3 interrupt vectors used exclusively by mshv
Date: Fri,  2 Jan 2026 14:02:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260102220208.862818-1-mrathor@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)

MSVC compiler, used to compile the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor currently,
has an assert intrinsic that uses interrupt vector 0x29 to create an
exception. This will cause hypervisor to then crash and collect core. As
such, if this interrupt number is assigned to a device by linux and the
device generates it, hypervisor will crash. There are two other such
vectors hard coded in the hypervisor, 0x2C and 0x2D for debug purposes.
Fortunately, the three vectors are part of the kernel driver space and
that makes it feasible to reserve them early so they are not assigned
later.

v1: Add ifndef CONFIG_X86_FRED (thanks hpa)
