Subject[RFC PATCH 0/2] xapic: make sure x2APIC -> xapic transition correctly
Date
The root cause is kvm_lapic_set_base() failing to handle x2APIC -> xapic ID
switch, which is addressed by patch 1.
Patch 2 provides a selftest to verify this behavior.

This serie is an RFC because I think that commit ef40757743b47 already tries to
fix one such effect of the error made in kvm_lapic_set_base, but I am not sure
how such error described in the commit message is triggered, nor how to
reproduce it using a selftest. I don't think one can enable/disable x2APIC using
KVM_SET_LAPIC, and kvm_lapic_set_base() in kvm_apic_set_state() just takes care
of updating apic->base_address, since value == old_value.
The test in patch 2 fails with the fix in ef40757743b47.

Thank you,
Emanuele

KVM: x86: update APIC_ID also when disabling x2APIC in
kvm_lapic_set_base
KVM: selftests: APIC_ID must be correctly updated when disabling
x2apic
