KVM: x86: Only set APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_ABSENT if APICv is enabled
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Use the APICv enablement status to determine if APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_ABSENT
needs to be set, instead of unconditionally setting the reason during
initialization.

Specifically, in cases where AVIC is disabled via module parameter or lack
of hardware support, unconditionally setting an inhibit reason due to the
absence of an in-kernel local APIC can lead to a scenario where the reason
incorrectly remains set after a local APIC has been created by either
KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP or the enabling of KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP_SPLIT. This is
because the helpers in charge of removing the inhibit return early if
enable_apicv is not true, and therefore the bit remains set.

This leads to confusion as to the cause why APICv is not active, since an
incorrect reason will be reported by tracepoints and/or a debugging tool
that examines the currently set inhibit reasons.
