    KVM: x86: nVMX: fix x2APIC VTPR read intercept · c73f4c99
    Marc Orr authored
    Referring to the "VIRTUALIZING MSR-BASED APIC ACCESSES" chapter of the
    SDM, when "virtualize x2APIC mode" is 1 and "APIC-register
    virtualization" is 0, a RDMSR of 808H should return the VTPR from the
    virtual APIC page.
    
    However, for nested, KVM currently fails to disable the read intercept
    for this MSR. This means that a RDMSR exit takes precedence over
    "virtualize x2APIC mode", and KVM passes through L1's TPR to L2,
    instead of sourcing the value from L2's virtual APIC page.
    
    This patch fixes the issue by disabling the read intercept, in VMCS02,
    for the VTPR when "APIC-register virtualization" is 0.
    
    The issue described above and fix prescribed here, were verified with
    a related patch in kvm-unit-tests titled "Test VMX's virtualize x2APIC
    mode w/ nested".
