[PATCH 4.19 50/98] KVM: x86: Mask LVTPC when handling a PMI

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

 



4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a16eb25b09c02a54c1c1b449d4b6cfa2cf3f013a upstream.

Per the SDM, "When the local APIC handles a performance-monitoring
counters interrupt, it automatically sets the mask flag in the LVT
performance counter register."  Add this behavior to KVM's local APIC
emulation.

Failure to mask the LVTPC entry results in spurious PMIs, e.g. when
running Linux as a guest, PMI handlers that do a "late_ack" spew a large
number of "dazed and confused" spurious NMI warnings.
