While testing Hyper-V enabled Windows Server 2019 guests on Zen4 hardware
I noticed that with vCPU count large enough (> 16) they sometimes froze at
boot.
With vCPU count of 64 they never booted successfully - suggesting some kind
of a race condition.
Since adding "vnmi=0" module parameter made these guests boot successfully
it was clear that the problem is most likely (v)NMI-related.
Running kvm-unit-tests quickly showed failing NMI-related tests cases, like
"multiple nmi" and "pending nmi" from apic-split, x2apic and xapic tests
and the NMI parts of eventinj test.
The issue was that once one NMI was being serviced no other NMI was allowed
to be set pending (NMI limit = 0), which was traced to
svm_is_vnmi_pending() wrongly testing for the "NMI blocked" flag rather
than for the "NMI pending" flag.
Fix this by testing for the right flag in svm_is_vnmi_pending().
Once this is done, the NMI-related kvm-unit-tests pass successfully and
the Windows guest no longer freezes at boot.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
