From 03f812fa6ea821f5d1c968ab6fc0fb92054f9a1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduardo Habkost Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 20:50:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] i386: kvm: Disable arch_capabilities if MSR can't be set RH-Author: Eduardo Habkost Message-id: <20190410205003.18916-2-ehabkost@redhat.com> Patchwork-id: 85550 O-Subject: [RHEL-AV-8.0.1 qemu-kvm PATCH 1/2] i386: kvm: Disable arch_capabilities if MSR can't be set Bugzilla: 1687578 RH-Acked-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert RH-Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini RH-Acked-by: Igor Mammedov KVM has two bugs in the handling of MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES: 1) Linux commit commit 1eaafe91a0df ("kvm: x86: IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES is always supported") makes GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID return arch_capabilities even if running on SVM. This makes "-cpu host,migratable=off" incorrectly expose arch_capabilities on CPUID on AMD hosts (where the MSR is not emulated by KVM). 2) KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST does not return MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES if the MSR is not supported by the host CPU. This makes QEMU not initialize the MSR properly at kvm_put_msrs() on those hosts. Work around both bugs on the QEMU side, by checking if the MSR was returned by KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST before returning the feature flag on kvm_arch_get_supported_cpuid(). This has the unfortunate side effect of making arch_capabilities unavailable on hosts without hardware support for the MSR until bug #2 is fixed on KVM, but I can't see another way to work around bug #1 without that side effect.
