Public bug reported: == SRU Justification ==
Impact: systems with CPUs lacking virtual NMI support are no longer able to load the kvm_intel module, and thus not able to use KVM functionality Fix: cherry-pick re-introducing support for software NMI support Regression Potential: applied upstream in 4.15 and 4.14.3, tested and verified by multiple people -- the original dropping of support was (functionally) reverted after upstream got notified of how many CPUs were actually affected see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/<1509971473-74491-1-git-send-email-pbonz...@redhat.com> for upstream patch re-introducing support see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/<1490618297-10581-2-git-send-email-pbonz...@redhat.com> for the original upstream patch dropping support and following discusison I'll send an SRU patch. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738982 Title: [A] KVM module in 4.13 no longer supports old Intel CPUs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1738982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
