commit c1118b36 upstream. On x86_64, kernel text mappings are mapped read-only with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. In that case, KVM will fail to patch VMCALL instructions to VMMCALL as required on AMD processors. The failure mode is currently a divide-by-zero exception, which obviously is a KVM bug that has to be fixed. However, picking the right instruction between VMCALL and VMMCALL will be faster and will help if you cannot upgrade the hypervisor.
