[PATCH RESEND v3 0/3] i386: Fix Hyper-V Gen1 guests stuck on boot with 'hv-passthrough'

Posted by Vitaly Kuznetsov 1 month, 3 weeks ago

Changes since 'RESEND v2':
- Included 'docs/system: Add recommendations to Hyper-V enlightenments doc'
  in the set as it also requires a "RESEND")

Hyper-V Gen1 guests are getting stuck on boot when 'hv-passthrough' is
used. While 'hv-passthrough' is a debug only feature, this significantly
limit its usefullness. While debugging the problem, I found that there are
two loosely connected issues:
- 'hv-passthrough' enables 'hv-syndbg' and this is undesired.
- 'hv-syndbg's support by KVM is detected incorrectly when !CONFIG_SYNDBG.

Fix both issues; exclude 'hv-syndbg' from 'hv-passthrough' and don't allow
to turn on 'hv-syndbg' for !CONFIG_SYNDBG builds.

  i386: Fix conditional CONFIG_SYNDBG enablement
  i386: Exclude 'hv-syndbg' from 'hv-passthrough'
  docs/system: Add recommendations to Hyper-V enlightenments doc
