KVM: VMX: hide flexpriority from guest when disabled at the module level
As of commit 8d860bbe ("kvm: vmx: Basic APIC virtualization controls have three settings"), KVM will disable VIRTUALIZE_APIC_ACCESSES when a nested guest writes APIC_BASE MSR and kvm-intel.flexpriority=0, whereas previously KVM would allow a nested guest to enable VIRTUALIZE_APIC_ACCESSES so long as it's supported in hardware. That is, KVM now advertises VIRTUALIZE_APIC_ACCESSES to a guest but doesn't (always) allow setting it when kvm-intel.flexpriority=0, and may even initially allow the control and then clear it when the nested guest writes APIC_BASE MSR, which is decidedly odd even if it doesn't cause functional issues. Hide the control completely when the module parameter is cleared. reported-by: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> Fixes: 8d860bbe ("kvm: vmx: Basic APIC virtualization controls have three settings") Cc: Jim Mattson <jmattson@google.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
