Title:
  vmx_nm_test in ubuntu_kvm_unit_tests interrupted on X-oracle-4.15 /
  B-oracle-4.15 / X-KVM / B-KVM

Status in ubuntu-kernel-tests:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  When running kvm-unit-tests under a guest, it will be paused, requiring a
  reset. When running the same test on a host (vmx_nm_test), it will fail.

  [Test case]
  Grab kvm-unit-tests, build it and run:

  TESTNAME=vmx TIMEOUT=90s ACCEL= ./x86/run x86/vmx.flat -smp 1 -cpu
  host,+vmx -append "vmx_nm_test"

  If done inside a guest, when the host runs the bionic 4.15 kernel, the guest
  will pause.

  [Potential regressions]
  Nested KVM could stop working. Floating point could stop working on KVM
  guests, though the code that relied on this was already removed from
  Bionic.

  
  ------------------------------

  
  This issue was first spotted on Mar.16 [1]

  The ubuntu_kvm_unit_tests will be interrupted on X-oracle-4.15 on both
  VM.Standard2.1 and VM.Standard2.16, this is not a regression since it
  can be reproduced with 4.15.0-1031-oracle #34~16.04.1:

  (node disconnected here)

  Before the test started, this can be found in syslog:
  Apr 13 06:26:25 selfprovisioned-phlin-kvm-unit kernel: [ 1073.529005] L1TF 
CPU bug present and SMT on, data leak possible. See CVE-2018-3646 and 
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/hw-vuln/l1tf.html for 
details.

  After that, noting was printed and node disconnected.

  If you try to run this case manually, it will stop at:
  # ./vmx_nm_test
  BUILD_HEAD=4671e4ba
  ready!!!
  timeout -k 1s --foreground 30 /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -device

-cpu host,+vmx -append vmx_nm_test # -initrd /tmp/tmp.ADjEOAcRKM

  (stopped here, even the "enabling apic" string was not printed)

  It looks like this is a new test case added since the cycle of
  4.15.0-1037.41~16.04.1-oracle
