KVM mediated PMU support for 6.20 Add support for mediated PMUs, where KVM gives the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allows direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model), but intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. To keep overall complexity reasonable, mediated PMU usage is all or nothing for a given instance of KVM (controlled via module param). The Mediated PMU is disabled default, partly to maintain backwards compatilibity for existing setup, partly because there are tradeoffs when running with a mediated PMU that may be non-starters for some use cases, e.g. the host loses the ability to profile guests with mediated PMUs, the fastpath run loop is also a blind spot, entry/exit transitions are more expensive, etc. Versus the emulated PMU, where KVM is "just another perf user", the mediated PMU delivers more accurate profiling and monitoring (no risk of contention and thus dropped events), with significantly less overhead (fewer exits and faster emulation/programming of event selectors) E.g. when running Specint-2017 on a single-socket Sapphire Rapids with 56 cores and no-SMT, and using perf from within the guest: Perf command: a. basic-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 6-instructions -a --overwrite b. multiplex-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 10-instructions -a --overwrite Guest performance overhead: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Test case | emulated vPMU | all passthrough | passthrough with | | | | | event filters | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | basic-sampling | 33.62% | 4.24% | 6.21% | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | multiplex-sampling | 79.32% | 7.34% | 10.45% | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

KVM x86 APIC-ish changes for 6.20 - Fix a benign bug where KVM could use the wrong memslots (ignored SMM) when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty. - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless. - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow burying the RTC shenanigans behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y. - Bury all of ioapic.h and KVM_IRQCHIP_KERNEL behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y. - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes. - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans. - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR information. - Drop a dead function declaration.

KVM guest_memfd changes for 6.20 - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked hugepage handling, and instead rely on SNP (the only user of the tracking) to do its own tracking via the RMP. - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for a non-existent usecase (and because in-place conversion simply can't support unaligned sources). - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a looming deadlock bug with in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap invalidate lock.

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.20 - Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all the same reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first KVM_RUN. - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV MSRs that were advertised as supported to userspace when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled. - Fix a bug where KVM would attempt to read protect guest state (CR3) when configuring an async #PF entry. - Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM (for x86 only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL. Explicitly allow the few exports that are intended for external usage. - Ignore -EBUSY when checking nested events after a vCPU exits blocking as the WARN is user-triggerable, and because exiting to userspace on -EBUSY does more harm than good in pretty much every situation. - Throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPI, as playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller turned out to be an unwinnable game. - Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything beyond enumerating feature flags to userspace. - Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2. - Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the intended setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to unexpected changes in KVM's golden configuration. - Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI broadcasts when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest (currently limited to split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC). Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an option as some userspaces have come to rely on KVM's buggy behavior (KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective of whether or not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs). - Minor cleanups.

KVM SVM changes for 6.20 - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure. - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of ERAPS relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM to reduce the set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must* flush the RAP. - Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported according to L1's virtual CPU model. - Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's fastpath for EPT Misconfig. - Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently of SVM, and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0. - Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM. - Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace. - Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when emulating VMLOAD or VMSAVE on behalf of L2. - Misc fixes and cleanups.

KVM VMX changes for 6.20 - Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM #PFs by always relecting EPCM #PFs back into the guest. KVM doesn't shadow EPCM entries, and so EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM interference, and can't be resolved by KVM. - Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed. - Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported, mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that conditionally exist. - Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch.
2026-01-30KVM: x86: Add x2APIC "features" to control EOI broadcast suppressionKhushit Shah
Add two flags for KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API to allow userspace to control support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts when using a split IRQCHIP (I/O APIC emulated by userspace), which KVM completely mishandles. When x2APIC support was first added, KVM incorrectly advertised and "enabled" Suppress EOI Broadcast, without fully supporting the I/O APIC side of the equation, i.e. without adding directed EOI to KVM's in-kernel I/O APIC. That flaw was carried over to split IRQCHIP support, i.e. KVM advertised support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts irrespective of whether or not the userspace I/O APIC implementation supported directed EOIs. Even worse, KVM didn't actually suppress EOI broadcasts, i.e. userspace VMMs without support for directed EOI came to rely on the "spurious" broadcasts. KVM "fixed" the in-kernel I/O APIC implementation by completely disabling support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts in commit 0bcc3fb95b97 ("KVM: lapic: stop advertising DIRECTED_EOI when in-kernel IOAPIC is in use"), but didn't do anything to remedy userspace I/O APIC implementations. KVM's bogus handling of Suppress EOI Broadcast is problematic when the guest relies on interrupts being masked in the I/O APIC until well after the initial local APIC EOI. E.g. Windows with Credential Guard enabled handles interrupts in the following order: 1. Interrupt for L2 arrives. 2. L1 APIC EOIs the interrupt. 3. L1 resumes L2 and injects the interrupt. 4. L2 EOIs after servicing. 5. L1 performs the I/O APIC EOI. Because KVM EOIs the I/O APIC at step #2, the guest can get an interrupt storm, e.g. if the IRQ line is still asserted and userspace reacts to the EOI by re-injecting the IRQ, because the guest doesn't de-assert the line until step #4, and doesn't expect the interrupt to be re-enabled until step #5. Unfortunately, simply "fixing" the bug isn't an option, as KVM has no way of knowing if the userspace I/O APIC supports directed EOIs, i.e. suppressing EOI broadcasts would result in interrupts being stuck masked in the userspace I/O APIC due to step #5 being ignored by userspace. And fully disabling support for Suppress EOI Broadcast is also undesirable, as picking up the fix would require a guest reboot, *and* more importantly would change the virtual CPU model exposed to the guest without any buy-in from userspace. Add KVM_X2APIC_ENABLE_SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST and KVM_X2APIC_DISABLE_SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST flags to allow userspace to explicitly enable or disable support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts. This gives userspace control over the virtual CPU model exposed to the guest, as KVM should never have enabled support for Suppress EOI Broadcast without userspace opt-in. Not setting either flag will result in legacy quirky behavior for backward compatibility. Disallow fully enabling SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST when using an in-kernel I/O APIC, as KVM's history/support is just as tragic. E.g. it's not clear that commit c806a6ad35bf ("KVM: x86: call irq notifiers with directed EOI") was entirely correct, i.e. it may have simply papered over the lack of Directed EOI emulation in the I/O APIC. Note, Suppress EOI Broadcasts is defined only in Intel's SDM, not in AMD's APM. But the bit is writable on some AMD CPUs, e.g. Turin, and KVM's ABI is to support Directed EOI (KVM's name) irrespective of guest CPU vendor.

2026-01-30KVM: x86: Harden against unexpected adjustments to kvm_cpu_capsSean Christopherson
Add a flag to track when KVM is actively configuring its CPU caps, and WARN if a cap is set or cleared if KVM isn't in its configuration stage. Modifying CPU caps after {svm,vmx}_set_cpu_caps() can be fatal to KVM, as vendor setup code expects the CPU caps to be frozen at that point, e.g. will do additional configuration based on the caps. Rename kvm_set_cpu_caps() to kvm_initialize_cpu_caps() to pair with the new "finalize", and to make it more obvious that KVM's CPU caps aren't fully configured within the function.

2026-01-30KVM: VMX: Print out "bad" offsets+value on VMCS config mismatchSean Christopherson
When kvm-intel.ko refuses to load due to a mismatched VMCS config, print all mismatching offsets+values to make it easier to debug goofs during development, and to make it at least feasible to triage failures that occur during production. E.g. if a physical core is flaky or is running with the "wrong" microcode patch loaded, then a CPU can get a legitimate mismatch even without KVM bugs. Print the mismatches as 32-bit values as a compromise between hand coding every field (to provide precise information) and printing individual bytes (requires more effort to deduce the mismatch bit(s)). All fields in the VMCS config are either 32-bit or 64-bit values, i.e. in many cases, printing 32-bit values will be 100% precise, and in the others it's close enough, especially when considering that MSR values are split into EDX:EAX anyways. E.g. on mismatch CET entry/exit controls, KVM will print: kvm_intel: VMCS config on CPU 0 doesn't match reference config: Offset 76 REF = 0x107fffff, CPU0 = 0x007fffff, mismatch = 0x10000000 Offset 84 REF = 0x0010f3ff, CPU0 = 0x0000f3ff, mismatch = 0x00100000 Opportunistically tweak the wording on the initial error message to say "mismatch" instead of "inconsistent", as the VMCS config itself isn't inconsistent, and the wording conflates the cross-CPU compatibility check with the error_on_inconsistent_vmcs_config knob that treats inconsistent VMCS configurations as errors (e.g. if a CPU supports CET entry controls but no CET exit controls).

Explicitly configure KVM's supported XSS as part of each vendor's setup flow to fix a bug where clearing SHSTK and IBT in kvm_cpu_caps, e.g. due to lack of CET XFEATURE support, makes kvm-intel.ko unloadable when nested VMX is enabled, i.e. when nested=1. The late clearing results in nested_vmx_setup_{entry,exit}_ctls() clearing VM_{ENTRY,EXIT}_LOAD_CET_STATE when nested_vmx_setup_ctls_msrs() runs during the CPU compatibility checks, ultimately leading to a mismatched VMCS config due to the reference config having the CET bits set, but every CPU's "local" config having the bits cleared. Note, kvm_caps.supported_{xcr0,xss} are unconditionally initialized by kvm_x86_vendor_init(), before calling into vendor code, and not referenced between ops->hardware_setup() and their current/old location.

2026-01-26KVM: nVMX: Remove explicit filtering of GUEST_INTR_STATUS from shadow VMCS ↵Sean Christopherson
fields Drop KVM's filtering of GUEST_INTR_STATUS when generating the shadow VMCS bitmap now that KVM drops GUEST_INTR_STATUS from the set of supported vmcs12 fields if the field isn't supported by hardware, and initialization of the shadow VMCS fields omits unsupported vmcs12 fields. Note, there is technically a small functional change here, as the vmcs12 filtering only requires support for Virtual Interrupt Delivery, whereas the shadow VMCS code being removed required "full" APICv support, i.e. required Virtual Interrupt Delivery *and* APIC Register Virtualizaton *and* Posted Interrupt support. Opportunistically tweak the comment to more precisely explain why the PML and VMX preemption timer fields need to be explicitly checked.

2026-01-26KVM: nVMX: Disallow access to vmcs12 fields that aren't supported by "hardware"Sean Christopherson
Disallow access (VMREAD/VMWRITE), both emulated and via a shadow VMCS, to VMCS fields that the loaded incarnation of KVM doesn't support, e.g. due to lack of hardware support, as a middle ground between allowing access to any vmcs12 field defined by KVM (current behavior) and gating access based on the userspace-defined vCPU model (the most functionally correct, but very costly, implementation). Disallowing access to unsupported fields helps a tiny bit in terms of closing the virtualization hole (see below), but the main motivation is to avoid having to weed out unsupported fields when synchronizing between vmcs12 and a shadow VMCS. Because shadow VMCS accesses are done via VMREAD and VMWRITE, KVM _must_ filter out unsupported fields (or eat VMREAD/VMWRITE failures), and filtering out just shadow VMCS fields is about the same amount of effort, and arguably much more confusing. As a bonus, this also fixes a KVM-Unit-Test failure bug when running on _hardware_ without support for TSC Scaling, which fails with the same signature as the bug fixed by commit ba1f82456ba8 ("KVM: nVMX: Dynamically compute max VMCS index for vmcs12"): FAIL: VMX_VMCS_ENUM.MAX_INDEX expected: 19, actual: 17 Dynamically computing the max VMCS index only resolved the issue where KVM was hardcoding max index, but for CPUs with TSC Scaling, that was "good enough".

Intel AVX10 Version 2 (Intel AVX10.2) includes a suite of new instructions delivering new AI features and performance, accelerated media processing, expanded Web Assembly, and Cryptography support, along with enhancements to existing legacy instructions for completeness and efficiency, and it is enumerated as version 2 in CPUID 0x24.0x0.EBX[bits 0-7] [1]. AVX10.2 has no current kernel usage and requires no additional host kernel enabling work (based on AVX10.1 support) and provides no new VMX controls [2]. Moreover, since AVX10.2 is the superset of AVX10.1, there's no need to worry about AVX10.1 and AVX10.2 compatibility issues in KVM.

This hint could optimize the behavior of the caches, especially shared caches, for this data for future reads by multiple processors. Additionally, MOVRS family also includes a software prefetch instruction, PREFETCHRST2, that carries the same read-shared hint. [*] MOVRS family is enumerated by CPUID single-bit (0x7.0x1.EAX[bit 31]). Since it's on a densely-populated CPUID leaf and some other bits on this leaf have kernel usages, define this new feature in cpufeatures.h, but hide it in /proc/cpuinfo due to lack of current kernel usage. Advertise MOVRS bit to userspace directly. It's safe, since there's no new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to use this feature.

2026-01-23KVM: Introduce KVM_EXIT_SNP_REQ_CERTS for SNP certificate-fetchingMichael Roth
For SEV-SNP, the host can optionally provide a certificate table to the guest when it issues an attestation request to firmware (see GHCB 2.0 specification regarding "SNP Extended Guest Requests"). This certificate table can then be used to verify the endorsement key used by firmware to sign the attestation report. While it is possible for guests to obtain the certificates through other means, handling it via the host provides more flexibility in being able to keep the certificate data in sync with the endorsement key throughout host-side operations that might resulting in the endorsement key changing. In the case of KVM, userspace will be responsible for fetching the certificate table and keeping it in sync with any modifications to the endorsement key by other userspace management tools. Define a new KVM_EXIT_SNP_REQ_CERTS event where userspace is provided with the GPA of the buffer the guest has provided as part of the attestation request so that userspace can write the certificate data into it while relying on filesystem-based locking to keep the certificates up-to-date relative to the endorsement keys installed/utilized by firmware at the time the certificates are fetched.

2026-01-23KVM: x86: Drop WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPISean Christopherson
Drop the sanity check in kvm_apic_accept_events() that attempts to detect KVM bugs by asserting that a vCPU isn't in Wait-For-SIPI if INIT/SIPI are blocked, because if INIT is blocked, then it should be impossible for a vCPU to get into WFS in the first place. Unfortunately, syzbot is smarter than KVM (and its maintainers), and circumvented the guards put in place by commit 0fe3e8d804fd ("KVM: x86: Move INIT_RECEIVED vs. INIT/SIPI blocked check to KVM_RUN") by swapping the order and stuffing VMXON after INIT, and then triggering kvm_apic_accept_events() by way of KVM_GET_MP_STATE. Simply drop the WARN as it hasn't detected any meaningful KVM bugs in years (if ever?), and preventing userspace from clobbering guest state is generally a non-goal. More importantly, fully closing the hole would likely require enforcing some amount of ordering in KVM's ioctls, which is a much bigger risk than simply deleting the WARN.

2026-01-15KVM: guest_memfd: GUP source pages prior to populating guest memoryMichael Roth
Currently the post-populate callbacks handle copying source pages into private GPA ranges backed by guest_memfd, where kvm_gmem_populate() acquires the filemap invalidate lock, then calls a post-populate callback which may issue a get_user_pages() on the source pages prior to copying them into the private GPA (e.g. TDX). This will not be compatible with in-place conversion, where the userspace page fault path will attempt to acquire the filemap invalidate lock while holding the mm->mmap_lock, leading to a potential ABBA deadlock. Address this by hoisting the GUP above the filemap invalidate lock so that these page faults path can be taken early, prior to acquiring the filemap invalidate lock. It's not currently clear whether this issue is reachable with the current implementation of guest_memfd, which doesn't support in-place conversion, however it does provide a consistent mechanism to provide stable source/target PFNs to callbacks rather than punting to vendor-specific code, which allows for more commonality across architectures, which may be worthwhile even without in-place conversion. As part of this change, also begin enforcing that the 'src' argument to kvm_gmem_populate() must be page-aligned, as this greatly reduces the complexity around how the post-populate callbacks are implemented, and since no current in-tree users support using a non-page-aligned 'src' argument.

2026-01-15KVM: guest_memfd: Remove partial hugepage handling from kvm_gmem_populate()Michael Roth
kvm_gmem_populate(), and the associated post-populate callbacks, have some limited support for dealing with guests backed by hugepages by passing the order information along to each post-populate callback and iterating through the pages passed to kvm_gmem_populate() in hugepage-chunks. However, guest_memfd doesn't yet support hugepages, and in most cases additional changes in the kvm_gmem_populate() path would also be needed to actually allow for this functionality. This makes the existing code unnecessarily complex, and makes changes difficult to work through upstream due to theoretical impacts on hugepage support that can't be considered properly without an actual hugepage implementation to reference. So for now, remove what's there so changes for things like in-place conversion can be implemented/reviewed more efficiently.

2026-01-14KVM: SVM: Stop toggling virtual VMSAVE/VMLOAD on intercept recalcYosry Ahmed
Virtual VMSAVE/VMLOAD enablement (i.e. VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK) is set/cleared by svm_recalc_instruction_intercepts() when the intercepts are cleared/set. This is unnecessary because the bit is meaningless when intercepts are set and KVM emulates the instructions. Initialize the bit in vmcb01 base on vls, and keep it unchanged. This is similar-ish to how vGIF is handled. It is enabled in init_vmcb() if vgif=1 and remains unchanged when the STGI intercept is enabled (e.g. for NMI windows). This fixes a bug in svm_recalc_instruction_intercepts(). The intercepts for VMSAVE/VMLOAD are always toggled in vmcb01, but VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK is toggled in the current VMCB, which could be vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 if L2 is active. Virtual VMSAVE/VMLOAD enablement in vmcb02 is separately controlled by nested_vmcb02_prepare_control() based on the vCPU features and VMCB12, and if intercepts are needed they are set by recalc_intercepts(). The bug is benign though. Not toggling the bit for vmcb01 is harmless because it's useless anyway. For vmcb02: - The bit could be incorrectly cleared when intercepts are set in vmcb01. This is harmless because VMSAVE/VMLOAD will be emulated by KVM anyway. - The bit could be incorrectly set when the intercepts are cleared in vmcb01. However, if the bit was originally clear in vmcb02, then recalc_intercepts() will enable in the intercepts in vmcb02 anyway and VMSAVE/VMLOAD will be emulated by KVM.

Continuing with the wakeup isn't perfect either, as *something* has gone sideways if a vCPU is awakened in L2 with an injected event (or worse, a nested run pending), but continuing on gives the VM a decent chance of surviving without any major side effects. As explained in the Fixes commits, it _should_ be impossible for a vCPU to be put into a blocking state with an already-injected event (exception, IRQ, or NMI). Unfortunately, userspace can stuff MP_STATE and/or injected events, and thus put the vCPU into what should be an impossible state. Don't bother trying to preserve the WARN, e.g. with an anti-syzkaller Kconfig, as WARNs can (hopefully) be added in paths where _KVM_ would be violating x86 architecture, e.g. by WARNing if KVM attempts to inject an exception or interrupt while the vCPU isn't running.

2026-01-13KVM: SVM: Tag sev_supported_vmsa_features as read-only after initSean Christopherson
Tag sev_supported_vmsa_features with __ro_after_init as it's configured by sev_hardware_setup() and never written after initial configuration (and if it were, that'd be a blatant bug). Opportunistically relocate the variable out of the module params area now that sev_es_debug_swap_enabled is gone (which largely motivated its original location).

2026-01-13KVM: SVM: Drop the module param to control SEV-ES DebugSwapSean Christopherson
Rip out the DebugSwap module param, as the sequence of events that led to its inclusion was one big mistake, the param no longer serves any purpose. Commit d1f85fbe836e ("KVM: SEV: Enable data breakpoints in SEV-ES") goofed by not adding a way for the userspace VMM to control the feature. Functionally, that was fine, but it broke attestation signatures because SEV_FEATURES are included in the signature. Commit 5abf6dceb066 ("SEV: disable SEV-ES DebugSwap by default") fixed that issue, but the underlying flaw of userspace not having a way to control SEV_FEATURES was still there. That flaw was addressed by commit 4f5defae7089 ("KVM: SEV: introduce KVM_SEV_INIT2 operation"), and so then 4dd5ecacb9a4 ("KVM: SEV: allow SEV-ES DebugSwap again") re-enabled DebugSwap by default. Now that the dust has settled, the module param doesn't serve any meaningful purpose.

2026-01-13KVM: x86: Update APICv ISR (a.k.a. SVI) as part of kvm_apic_update_apicv()Sean Christopherson
Fold the calls to .hwapic_isr_update() in kvm_apic_set_state(), kvm_lapic_reset(), and __kvm_vcpu_update_apicv() into kvm_apic_update_apicv(), as updating SVI is directly related to updating KVM's own cache of ISR information, e.g. SVI is more or less the APICv equivalent of highest_isr_cache. Note, calling .hwapic_isr_update() during kvm_apic_update_apicv() has benign side effects, as doing so changes the orders of the calls in kvm_lapic_reset() and kvm_apic_set_state(), specifically with respect to to the order between .hwapic_isr_update() and .apicv_post_state_restore(). However, the changes in ordering are glorified nops as the former hook is VMX-only and the latter is SVM-only.

2026-01-13KVM: nVMX: Switch to vmcs01 to set virtual APICv mode on-demand if L2 is activeSean Christopherson
If L1's virtual APIC mode changes while L2 is active, e.g. because L1 doesn't intercept writes to the APIC_BASE MSR and L2 changes the mode, temporarily load vmcs01 and do all of the necessary actions instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. This will help in fixing yet more issues related to updates while L2 is active, e.g. KVM neglects to update vmcs02 MSR intercepts if vmcs01's MSR intercepts are modified while L2 is active. Not updating x2APIC MSRs is benign because vmcs01's settings are not factored into vmcs02's bitmap, but deferring the x2APIC MSR updates would create a weird, inconsistent state.

If the KVM-owned APIC-access page is migrated while L2 is running, temporarily load vmcs01 and immediately update APIC_ACCESS_ADDR instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. Once changing the virtual APIC mode is converted to always do on-demand updates, all of the "defer until vmcs01 is active" logic will be gone.

If APICv is (un)inhibited while L2 is running, temporarily load vmcs01 and immediately refresh the APICv controls in vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. This all but eliminates potential ordering issues due to vmcs01 not being synchronized with kvm_lapic.apicv_active, e.g. where KVM _thinks_ it refreshed APICv, but vmcs01 still contains stale state.

If APICv is activated while L2 is running and triggers an SVI update, temporarily load vmcs01 and immediately update SVI instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit.
