[PATCH v3 0/6] KVM: SVM: Enable AVIC for Zen4+ (if x2AVIC)
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Sep 18 2025 - 20:21:39 EST
Enable AVIC by default for Zen4+, so long as x2AVIC is supported (which should
be the case if AVIC is supported).
v3:
- Don't advise the user to enable force_avic. [Naveen]
- Gather AVIC related module params in avic.c (by moving code/helpers to
avic.c).
- Print "AVIC enabled" even when it's forced.
- Enable by default iff x2AVIC is supported.
- Use "auto" to select KVM's automatic/default behavior.

KVM: SVM: Enable AVIC by default for Zen4+ if x2AVIC is support
Sean Christopherson (5):
KVM: SVM: Move x2AVIC MSR interception helper to avic.c
KVM: SVM: Update "APICv in x2APIC without x2AVIC" in avic.c, not svm.c
KVM: SVM: Always print "AVIC enabled" separately, even when force
enabled
KVM: SVM: Don't advise the user to do force_avic=y (when x2AVIC is
detected)
KVM: SVM: Move global "avic" variable to avic.c
