KVM: selftests: x86: Avoid using SSE/AVX instructions
Some distros switched gcc to '-march=x86-64-v3' by default and while it's hard to find a CPU which doesn't support it today, many KVM selftests fail with ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== lib/x86_64/processor.c:570: Unhandled exception in guest pid=72747 tid=72747 errno=4 - Interrupted system call Unhandled exception '0x6' at guest RIP '0x4104f7' The failure is easy to reproduce elsewhere with $ make clean && CFLAGS='-march=x86-64-v3' make -j && ./x86_64/kvm_pv_test The root cause of the problem seems to be that with '-march=x86-64-v3' GCC uses AVX* instructions (VMOVQ in the example above) and without prior XSETBV() in the guest this results in #UD. It is certainly possible to add it there, e.g. the following saves the day as well: Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Message-ID: <20240920154422.2890096-1-vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
