To play nice with compilers generating AVX instructions, set CR4.OSXSAVE
and configure XCR0 by default when creating selftests vCPUs. Some distros
have switched gcc to '-march=x86-64-v3' by default, and while it's hard to
find a CPU which doesn't support AVX today, many KVM selftests fail with
==== Test Assertion Failure ====
lib/x86_64/processor.c:570: Unhandled exception in guest
pid=72747 tid=72747 errno=4 - Interrupted system call
Unhandled exception '0x6' at guest RIP '0x4104f7'
due to selftests not enabling AVX by default for the guest. The failure
is easy to reproduce elsewhere with:
$ make clean && CFLAGS='-march=x86-64-v3' make -j && ./x86_64/kvm_pv_test
E.g. gcc-13 with -march=x86-64-v3 compiles this chunk from selftests'
kvm_fixup_exception():
regs->rip = regs->r11;
regs->r9 = regs->vector;
regs->r10 = regs->error_code;
into this monstronsity (which is clever, but oof):
405313: c4 e1 f9 6e c8 vmovq %rax,%xmm1
405318: 48 89 68 08 mov %rbp,0x8(%rax)
40531c: 48 89 e8 mov %rbp,%rax
40531f: c4 c3 f1 22 c4 01 vpinsrq $0x1,%r12,%xmm1,%xmm0
405325: 49 89 6d 38 mov %rbp,0x38(%r13)
405329: c5 fa 7f 45 00 vmovdqu %xmm0,0x0(%rbp)
Alternatively, KVM selftests could explicitly restrict the compiler to
-march=x86-64-v2, but odds are very good that punting on AVX enabling will
simply result in tests that "need" AVX doing their own thing, e.g. there
are already three or so additional cleanups that can be done on top.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
