There is an uninit involved. For me it crashed reliably when kernel
compiled with clang 11, but with gcc it worked most of the time.
You may try to add something like:
--- a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c
+++ b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c
@@ -6581,6 +6581,7 @@ static void atomic_switch_perf_msrs(struct vcpu_vmx *vmx)
struct perf_guest_switch_msr *msrs;
+ nr_msrs = 12345678;
msrs = perf_guest_get_msrs(&nr_msrs);
+ pr_err("atomic_switch_perf_msrs: msrs=%px nr_msrs=%d\n", msrs, nr_msrs);
Then you will see surprising things.
