[Kernel-packages] [Bug 2008583] Re: VMware nested under KVM stopped working on 5.19 kernel on Ryzen: Invalid VMCB.
you can check it with bpftrace on kernel 5.19.0-41-generic #42~22.04.1-Ubuntu:
sudo bpftrace -e 'kprobe:__nested_vmcb_check_controls { printf("tlb_ctl: %d\n",
*((uint8 *)arg1+60) )}'
and it ends like this:
...
tlb_ctl: 1
tlb_ctl: 0
tlb_ctl: 0
tlb_ctl: 0
tlb_ctl: 0
tlb_ctl: 0
tlb_ctl: 0
tlb_ctl: 0
tlb_ctl: 3 <<

Title:
VMware nested under KVM stopped working on 5.19 kernel on Ryzen:
Invalid VMCB.
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
My setup:
Host: Ubuntu Linux 22.04.1, kernel 5.15, Ryzen 5900x
Hypervisor: KVM
Windows VM with VMware Workstation 16
Running nested VMs in VMware works ok.
It fails if Linux host kernel is updated to 5.19 (22.04.2) with
MONITOR PANIC: Invalid VMCB.
VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)
vcpu-0:Invalid VMCB.
If I update to Workstation 17 it fails with
2023-02-24T15:21:35.112Z In(05) vmx The following features are required for
SVM support in VMware Workstation; however, these features are not available on
this host:
2023-02-24T15:21:35.112Z In(05) vmxFlush by ASID.
This host supports AMD-V, but the AMD-V implementation is incompatible with
VMware Workstation.
VMware Workstation does not support the user level monitor on this host.
Module 'MonitorMode' power on failed.
The same VM works ok on 5.19 kernel on my Intel PC.
So it has to do with updated Linux kernel and AMD virtualization and
VMware.

Hi Everyone! Found the same bug on my system: Host: Ubuntu 22.04.02, kernel 5.15, Ryzen 5950x Hypervisor: KVM VM: ESXi 7.0u3 ESXi works fine and I'm able to start VMs on it (nested virtualization) After updating the kernel to 5.19 or 6.0-oem I get this error anytime I try to start a VM on the ESXi: vcpu-0:Invalid VMCB I also found the same error/problems on other forums after the kernel update (it seems to affect only AMD platforms). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2008583 Title: VMware nested under KVM stopped working on 5.19 kernel on Ryzen: Invalid VMCB.
