KVM: selftests: Configure XCR0 to max supported value by default
To play nice with compilers generating AVX instructions, set CR4.OSXSAVE and configure XCR0 by default when creating selftests vCPUs. Some distros have switched gcc to '-march=x86-64-v3' by default, and while it's hard to find a CPU which doesn't support AVX today, many KVM selftests fail with ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== lib/x86_64/processor.c:570: Unhandled exception in guest pid=72747 tid=72747 errno=4 - Interrupted system call Unhandled exception '0x6' at guest RIP '0x4104f7' due to selftests not enabling AVX by default for the guest. The failure is easy to reproduce elsewhere with: $ make clean && CFLAGS='-march=x86-64-v3' make -j && ./x86_64/kvm_pv_test E.g. gcc-13 with -march=x86-64-v3 compiles this chunk from selftests' kvm_fixup_exception(): regs->rip = regs->r11; regs->r9 = regs->vector; regs->r10 = regs->error_code; into this monstronsity (which is clever, but oof): 405313: c4 e1 f9 6e c8 vmovq %rax,%xmm1 405318: 48 89 68 08 mov %rbp,0x8(%rax) 40531c: 48 89 e8 mov %rbp,%rax 40531f: c4 c3 f1 22 c4 01 vpinsrq $0x1,%r12,%xmm1,%xmm0 405325: 49 89 6d 38 mov %rbp,0x38(%r13) 405329: c5 fa 7f 45 00 vmovdqu %xmm0,0x0(%rbp) Alternatively, KVM selftests could explicitly restrict the compiler to -march=x86-64-v2, but odds are very good that punting on AVX enabling will simply result in tests that "need" AVX doing their own thing, e.g. there are already three or so additional cleanups that can be done on top.
