Date: Thu, 14 May 2020 15:21:44 +0000 From: Suresh Gumpula <suresh.gumpula@...anix.com> To: "kvm@...r.kernel.org" <kvm@...r.kernel.org>, "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Re: Virtual LAPIC page corruption Appears this also can be reproduced with 5.4 kernel too. And from windows debugger dump, arg3 the LVTT 0x320 seems corrupted and the patchguard complaining. But also from the dump full lapic 4k page is 0, not just 0x320 offset.

Looking at the guest windows dump, we see the full page is zeroed. And it seems the Guest windows kernel patchguard is detecting this case and resetting the VM. Is it possible that KVM, somehow corrupted the virtual LAPIC page? While the guest is running the KVM is not supposed to touch that vcpu lapic page? Could you please give us some pointers on what could wrong here. Is it a known issue in the kvm? We are using the host kernel 4.19 and qemu 2.12 and windows guests(2016/2012) Thanks, Suresh
