            Bug ID: 60830
           Summary: L2 rhel6u4(32bit) guest reboot continuously
           Product: Virtualization
           Version: unspecified
    Kernel Version: 3.11.0-rc1
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: kvm
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
        Regression: No

Environment:
------------
Host OS (ia32/ia32e/IA64):ia32e
Guest OS (ia32/ia32e/IA64):ia32e
Guest OS Type (Linux/Windows):Linux
kvm.git Commit:cc2df20c7c4ce594c3e17e9cc260c330646012c8 qemu.git Commit:f7ad538e1ea130c8b6f3abb06ad6c856242c799e Host Kernel Version:3.11.0-rc1 Hardware:Romley_EP

Bug detailed description:
--------------------------

when create L1 guest with "-cpu host" , then create a 32bit rhel6u4 guest as L2 guest, the L2 guest reboot continuously.

This commit introduced this bug:

commit afa61f752ba62549e4143d9f9378a8d1d710d6eb

Advertise the support of EPT to the L1 guest, through the appropriate MSR. This is the last patch of the basic Nested EPT feature, so as to allow bisection through this patch series: The guest will not see EPT support
until this last patch, and will not attempt to use the half-applied feature.

note:

1. create a 32bit RHEL6u3 as L2 guest, the guest reboot continuously.
2. when creat a 64bit rhel6u4 guest as L2 guest, the L2 guest works fine
3. this should be a kernel bug:

kvm + qemu = result

cc2df20c + f7ad538e = bad

205befd9 + f7ad538e = good

Reproduce steps:
----------------

1. create L1 guest:

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 8G -smp 4 -net nic,macaddr=00:12:41:51:14:16 -net tap,script=/etc/kvm/qemu-ifup ia32e_nested-kvm.img -cpu host

2. create L2 guest

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 2 -net none ia32p_rhel6u4.img

Current result:
----------------

32bit rhel6u4 as L2 guest reboot continuously

Expected result:
----------------

32bit rhel6u4 as L2 guest works fine

Basic root-causing log:

nVMX: Fix pick-up of uninjected NMIs

__vmx_complete_interrupts stored uninjected NMIs in arch.nmi_injected, not arch.nmi_pending. So we actually need to check the former field in vmcs12_save_pending_event. This fixes the eventinj unit test when run in nested KVM.
