How to configure libvirt, so qemu-kvm support nested virtualization, virtual
machine installed operating system is windows_7_ultimate_sp1_x64_dvd_618537.iso,
configure libvirt xml file is as follows:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>core2duo</model>
<feature policy='require' name='vmx'/>
</cpu>
or
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model fallback='allow'/>
</cpu>
or
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'>
<topology sockets='2' cores='2' threads='2'/>
</cpu>
We install libvirt in centos 7, qemu-kvm version is:
[Root @ localhost libexec] # ./qemu-kvm --version
QEMU emulator version 2.6.0 (qemu-kvm-ev-2.6.0-27.1.el7), Copyright (c)
2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
Above is the basic environment and libvirt configuration, but in this
environment to install the internal implementation of the following windows7
virtual machine kernel interface calls are as follows:
if (!FeatrueControlMsr.fields.enable_vmxon)
{
MyWriteFile(FileHanle, "Bios设置没有开启虚拟化\n",
strlen("Bios设置没有开启虚拟化\n"), &ReturnLen);
MyCloseFile(FileHanle);
KdPrint(("Bios设置没有开启虚拟化"));
return FALSE;
}
in conclusion:
Through this kernel interface to determine the result is: Bios settings do not
turn on virtualization
How to solve this problem? Hope to get your help.
thank you very much。

thanks your mail，now below：
If the KVM supports nested VMX and QEMU starts with the arguments -enable-kvm
and
-cpu ..., + vmx, then the LOCK bit of the guest MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL and
Enable VMX out of SMX operation bit will be set.
Well, I should add -enable-kvm parameters of the document which xml position,
the exact stresses, how Canada?

Yes, that's the key guest configuration step - exposing the 'vmx'
feature
to the guest.
In addition to that though, you need to make sure the kvm-intel kernel
module in your host has the "nested=1" parameter set.
eg in /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf you want
options kvm_intel nested=1
If loaded correctly you should see
# cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
Y
if it says "N", then nested VMX will be disabled.

Daniel
