Disable IPI virtualization on AMD Family 17h CPUs (Zen2 and Zen1), as hardware doesn't reliably detect changes to the 'IsRunning' bit during ICR write emulation, and might fail to VM-Exit on the sending vCPU, if IsRunning was recently cleared. The absence of the VM-Exit leads to KVM not waking (or triggering nested VM-Exit of) the target vCPU(s) of the IPI, which can lead to hung vCPUs, unbounded delays in L2 execution, etc. To workaround the erratum, simply disable IPI virtualization, which prevents KVM from setting IsRunning and thus eliminates the race where hardware sees a stale IsRunning=1. As a result, all ICR writes (except when "Self" shorthand is used) will VM-Exit and therefore be correctly emulated by KVM. Disabling IPI virtualization does carry a performance penalty, but benchmarkng shows that enabling AVIC without IPI virtualization is still much better than not using AVIC at all, because AVIC still accelerates posted interrupts and the receiving end of the IPIs. Note, when virtualizing Self-IPIs, the CPU skips reading the physical ID table and updates the vIRR directly (because the vCPU is by definition actively running), i.e. Self-IPI isn't susceptible to the erratum *and* is still accelerated by hardware.

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.
