This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: nVMX: eVMCS: Filter out VM_EXIT_SAVE_VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kvm-nvmx-evmcs-filter-out-vm_exit_save_vmx_preemptio.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8eced0e1de8b0e7d1dd849ecf5159cc9b4c85e44 Author: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 12 18:01:31 2022 +0100 KVM: nVMX: eVMCS: Filter out VM_EXIT_SAVE_VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER [ Upstream commit 7a601e2cf61558dfd534a9ecaad09f5853ad8204 ] Enlightened VMCS v1 doesn't have VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER_VALUE field, PIN_BASED_VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER is also filtered out already so it makes sense to filter out VM_EXIT_SAVE_VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER too. Note, none of the currently existing Windows/Hyper-V versions are known to enable 'save VMX-preemption timer value' when eVMCS is in use, the change is aimed at making the filtering future proof.
