[kvm-unit-tests PATCH] x86: apic: Add test config to allow running apic tests against SVM's AVIC

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

 



Add a curated "xapic" test configuration that hides x2APIC from the guest
and does not expose a PIT/8254 timer to the guest so that KVM won't
disable AVIC due to incompatibilities.

Caveat emptor: actually running the test with AVIC enabled will fail
miserably.  KVM botches xAPIC ID changes[*], and then fails for reasons
unknown after fixing the ID goof in the "write everything" case:

  memset((void *)APIC_DEFAULT_PHYS_BASE, 0xff, PAGE_SIZE);

But, AVIC is off by default and requires disabling nested support, i.e.
only people doing actual AVIC work will be affected because it's highly
unlikely to be enabled by accident.
