The KVM issue has been fixed in the stable kernel 5.7.
Code: Select all
This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
powerpc/64s: Fix KVM interrupt using wrong save area
to the 5.7-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is:
powerpc-64s-fix-kvm-interrupt-using-wrong-save-area.patch
and it can be found in the queue-5.7 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <[email protected]> know about it.

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email protected]>
commit 0bdcfa182506526fbe4e088ff9ca86a31b81828d upstream.
The CTR register reload in the KVM interrupt path used the wrong save
area for SLB (and NMI) interrupts.
