Summary
KVM: SVM: Disable AVIC IPI virtualization on Hygon Family 18h (erratum #1235)
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: SVM: Disable AVIC IPI virtualization on Hygon Family 18h (erratum #1235)

Hygon Family 18h CPUs are derived from AMD Family 17h (Zen1) silicon and share the same erratum #1235: hardware may read a stale IsRunning=1 bit during ICR write emulation and silently fail to generate an AVICIPIFAILURETARGETNOT_RUNNING VM-Exit on the sending vCPU.

The absence of the VM-Exit causes KVM to miss the required wakeup of blocking target vCPUs, leading to hung vCPUs and unbounded delays in guest execution.

Extend the existing AMD Family 17h erratum #1235 workaround to also cover Hygon Family 18h. With IPI virtualization disabled, KVM never sets IsRunning=1 in the Physical ID table, so every non-self IPI generates a VM-Exit and is correctly emulated.
