Hi,
This patch series aims to add a vmx test to verify the functionality
introduced by KVM commit:
4b9852f4f389 ("KVM: x86: Fix INIT signal handling in various CPU states")
The test verifies the following functionality:
1) An INIT signal received when CPU is in VMX operation
is latched until it exits VMX operation.
2) If there is an INIT signal pending when CPU is in
VMX non-root mode, it result in VMExit with (reason == 3).
3) Exit from VMX non-root mode on VMExit do not clear
pending INIT signal in LAPIC.
4) When CPU exits VMX operation, pending INIT signal in
LAPIC is processed.
In order to write such a complex test, the vmx tests framework was
enhanced to support using VMX in non BSP CPUs. This enhancement is
implemented in patches 1-7. The test itself is implemented at patch 8.
This enhancement to the vmx tests framework is a bit hackish, but
I believe it's OK because this functionality is rarely required by
other VMX tests.
