[PATCH RFC] target/i386: filter out VMX_PIN_BASED_POSTED_INTR when enabl


From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Subject: [PATCH RFC] target/i386: filter out VMX_PIN_BASED_POSTED_INTR when enabling SynIC
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2020 15:44:15 +0100

When a multi-vCPU guest is created with hv_synic, secondary vCPUs fail
to initialize with

qemu-system-x86_64: error: failed to set MSR 0x48d to 0xff00000016

This is caused by SynIC enablement on the boot CPU: when we do this
KVM disables apicv for the whole guest so we can't set
VMX_PIN_BASED_POSTED_INTR bit in MSR_IA32_VMX_TRUE_PINBASED_CTLS anymore.
(see nested_vmx_setup_ctls_msrs() in KVM).

This used to work before fine-grained VMX feature enablement because
we were not setting VMX MSRs.

Fix the issue by filtering out VMX_PIN_BASED_POSTED_INTR when enabling
SynIC. We also need to re-order kvm_init_msrs() with hyperv_init_vcpu()
so filtering on secondary CPUs happens before.

RFC: This is somewhat similar to eVMCS breakage and it is likely possible
to fix this in KVM. I decided to try QEMU first as this is a single
control and unlike eVMCS we don't need to keep a list of things to disable.
