[PATCH v4 11/17] svm: Deactivate AVIC when launching guest with nested SVM support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Since AVIC does not currently work w/ nested virtualization,
deactivate AVIC for the guest if setting CPUID Fn80000001_ECX[SVM]
(i.e. indicate support for SVM, which is needed for nested virtualization).
