Linux kernel stable tree

When running KVM with ignore_msrs=1 and report_ignored_msrs=0, the user has no clue that that the guest is being lied to. This may cause bug reports such as https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2571, where enabling a CPUID bit in QEMU caused Linux guests to try reading MSR_CU_DEF_ERR; and being lied about the existence of MSR_CU_DEF_ERR caused the guest to assume other things about the local APIC which were not true: Sep 14 12:02:53 kernel: mce: [Firmware Bug]: Your BIOS is not setting up LVT offset 0x2 for deferred error IRQs correctly. Sep 14 12:02:53 kernel: unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0x852 at rIP: 0xffffffffb548ffa7 (native_read_msr+0x7/0x40) Sep 14 12:02:53 kernel: Call Trace: ... Sep 14 12:02:53 kernel: native_apic_msr_read+0x20/0x30 Sep 14 12:02:53 kernel: setup_APIC_eilvt+0x47/0x110 Sep 14 12:02:53 kernel: mce_amd_feature_init+0x485/0x4e0 ... Sep 14 12:02:53 kernel: [Firmware Bug]: cpu 0, try to use APIC520 (LVT offset 2) for vector 0xf4, but the register is already in use for vector 0x0 on this cpu Without reported_ignored_msrs=0 at least the host kernel log will contain enough information to avoid going on a wild goose chase. But if reports about individual MSR accesses are being silenced too, at least complain loudly the first time a VM is started. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
