commit 7c69661e225cc484fbf44a0b99b56714a5241ae3 upstream. Defer APICv updates that occur while L2 is active until nested VM-Exit, i.e. until L1 regains control. vmx_refresh_apicv_exec_ctrl() assumes L1 is active and (a) stomps all over vmcs02 and (b) neglects to ever updated vmcs01. E.g. if vmcs12 doesn't enable the TPR shadow for L2 (and thus no APICv controls), L1 performs nested VM-Enter APICv inhibited, and APICv becomes unhibited while L2 is active, KVM will set various APICv controls in vmcs02 and trigger a failed VM-Entry. The kicker is that, unless running with nested_early_check=1, KVM blames L1 and chaos ensues. In all cases, ignoring vmcs02 and always deferring the inhibition change to vmcs01 is correct (or at least acceptable). The ABSENT and DISABLE inhibitions cannot truly change while L2 is active (see below). IRQ_BLOCKING can change, but it is firmly a best effort debug feature. Furthermore, only L2's APIC is accelerated/virtualized to the full extent possible, e.g. even if L1 passes through its APIC to L2, normal MMIO/MSR interception will apply to the virtual APIC managed by KVM. The exception is the SELF_IPI register when x2APIC is enabled, but that's an acceptable hole. Lastly, Hyper-V's Auto EOI can technically be toggled if L1 exposes the MSRs to L2, but for that to work in any sane capacity, L1 would need to pass through IRQs to L2 as well, and IRQs must be intercepted to enable virtual interrupt delivery. I.e. exposing Auto EOI to L2 and enabling VID for L2 are, for all intents and purposes, mutually exclusive. Lack of dynamic toggling is also why this scenario is all but impossible to encounter in KVM's current form. But a future patch will pend an APICv update request _during_ vCPU creation to plug a race where a vCPU that's being created doesn't get included in the "all vCPUs request" because it's not yet visible to other vCPUs. If userspaces restores L2 after VM creation (hello, KVM selftests), the first KVM_RUN will occur while L2 is active and thus service the APICv update request made during VM creation.

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 Restructured Text 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.
