KVM: selftests: x86: Avoid using SSE/AVX instructions
Some distros switched gcc to '-march=x86-64-v3' by default and while it's
hard to find a CPU which doesn't support it 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'
The failure is easy to reproduce elsewhere with
$ make clean && CFLAGS='-march=x86-64-v3' make -j && ./x86_64/kvm_pv_test
The root cause of the problem seems to be that with '-march=x86-64-v3' GCC
uses AVX* instructions (VMOVQ in the example above) and without prior
XSETBV() in the guest this results in #UD. It is certainly possible to add
it there, e.g. the following saves the day as well:
