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:

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 reStructuredText 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.
