KVM: x86: Fix virtual wire mode
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Intel SDM says, that at most one LAPIC should be configured with ExtINT
delivery. KVM configures all LAPICs this way. This causes pic_unlock()
to kick the first available vCPU from the internal KVM data structures.
If this vCPU is not the BSP, but some not-yet-booted AP, the BSP may
never realize that there is an interrupt.

Fix that by enabling ExtINT delivery only for the BSP.

This allows booting a Linux guest without a TSC in the above situation.
Otherwise the BSP gets stuck in calibrate_delay_converge().
