    KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Don't let PAPR guest set MSR hypervisor bit · 4f169d21
    Paul Mackerras authored
    PAPR guests run in supervisor mode and should not be able to set the
    MSR HV (hypervisor mode) bit or clear the ME (machine check enable)
    bit by mtmsrd or any other means.  To enforce this, we force MSR_HV
    off and MSR_ME on in kvmppc_set_msr_pr.  Without this, the guest
    can appear to be in hypervisor mode to itself and to userspace.
    This has been observed to cause a crash in QEMU when it tries to
    deliver a system reset interrupt to the guest.
