commit 47d3e5cdfe607ec6883eb0faa7acf05b8cb3f92a upstream.
It has been proven on practice that at least Windows Server 2019 tries
using HVCALL_SEND_IPI_EX in 'XMM fast' mode when it has more than 64 vCPUs
and it needs to send an IPI to a vCPU > 63. Similarly to other XMM Fast
hypercalls (HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_{LIST,SPACE}{,_EX}), this
information is missing in TLFS as of 6.0b. Currently, KVM returns an error
(HV_STATUS_INVALID_HYPERCALL_INPUT) and Windows crashes.
Note, HVCALL_SEND_IPI is a 'standard' fast hypercall (not 'XMM fast') as
all its parameters fit into RDX:R8 and this is handled by KVM correctly.

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.
