The XIVE enablement patches included a change to set the LPES (Logical
Partitioning Environment Selector) bit (bit # 3) in LPCR (Logical Partitioning
Control Register) on POWER9 hosts. This bit sets external interrupts to guest
delivery mode, which uses SRR0/1. The host's EE interrupt handler is written to
expect HSRR0/1 (for earlier CPUs). This should be fine because XIVE is
configured not to deliver EEs to the host (Hypervisor Virtulization Interrupt is
used instead) so the EE handler should never be executed.
However a bug in interrupt controller code, hardware, or odd configuration of a
simulator could result in the host getting an EE incorrectly. Keeping the EE
delivery mode matching the host EE handler prevents strange crashes due to using
the wrong exception registers.
KVM will configure the LPCR to set LPES prior to running a guest so that EEs are
delivered to the guest using SRR0/1.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
