Thanks for your confirmation.
markus@x4 linux % cat .config | grep X86_PAT
CONFIG_X86_PAT=y
markus@x4 linux % dmesg | grep PAT
[ 0.000000] x86/PAT: Configuration [0-7]: WB WC UC- UC WB WC UC- WT
Strange, BP processor has already set WC to PAT1, however KVM does not read it
out
from PAT MSR on its local CPU.
Hmm... PAT default values do not include WC, it seems initing PAT on SP has not
finished after module_init()?
Could please apply this diff and test it again?
(Your patch was malformed.)
[ 2.138098] kvm: Nested Virtualization enabled
[ 2.138153] kvm: Nested Paging enabled
[ 2.138204] KVM PAT: 0x7040600070406.
So the PAT is the value after CPU reset, it's likely PAT is not initialized on
the local CPU.
Maybe something is escaped from stop_machine() called in native_smp_cpus_done(),
Ingo?
