KVM: Fix modprobe failure for kvm_intel/kvm_amd
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The x86 specific kvm init creates a new conflicting
debugfs directory which causes modprobe issues
with kvm_intel and kvm_amd. For example,

sudo modprobe kvm_amd
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_amd': Bad address

The simplest fix is to just rename the directory. The following
KVM config options are set:

CONFIG_KVM_GUEST=y
CONFIG_KVM_DEBUG_FS=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD=y
CONFIG_KVM_APIC_ARCHITECTURE=y
CONFIG_KVM_MMIO=y
CONFIG_KVM_ASYNC_PF=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_MSI=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_CPU_RELAX_INTERCEPT=y
CONFIG_KVM=m
CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m
CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m
CONFIG_KVM_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT=y
