commit 629d3698f6 upstream.
When IPI virtualization is enabled, a WARN is triggered if bit12 of ICR
MSR is set after APIC-write VM-exit. The reason is kvm_apic_send_ipi()
thinks the APIC_ICR_BUSY bit should be cleared because KVM has no delay,
but kvm_apic_write_nodecode() doesn't clear the APIC_ICR_BUSY bit.
Under the x2APIC section, regarding ICR, the SDM says:
It remains readable only to aid in debugging; however, software should
not assume the value returned by reading the ICR is the last written
value.
I.e. the guest is allowed to set bit 12. However, the SDM also gives KVM
free reign to do whatever it wants with the bit, so long as KVM's behavior
doesn't confuse userspace or break KVM's ABI.
Clear bit 12 so that it reads back as '0'. This approach is safer than
"do nothing" and is consistent with the case where IPI virtualization is
disabled or not supported, i.e.,
handle_fastpath_set_x2apic_icr_irqoff() -> kvm_x2apic_icr_write()
Opportunistically replace the TODO with a comment calling out that eating
the write is likely faster than a conditional branch around the busy bit.
