[PATCH v9 12/12] KVM: x86: Disable Intel Processor Trace when VMXON in L1 guest

From: Luwei Kang
Date: Mon May 21 2018 - 22:04:39 EST


Currently, Intel Processor Trace do not support tracing in L1 guest
VMX operation(IA32_VMX_MISC[bit 14] is 0). As mentioned in SDM,
on these type of processors, execution of the VMXON instruction will
clears IA32_RTIT_CTL.TraceEn and any attempt to write IA32_RTIT_CTL
causes a general-protection exception (#GP).
