[Bug 1915063] Re: Windows 10 wil not install using qemu-system-x86_64

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

David used "5.6.0-1042.46-oem", the closest I had was "5.6.0-1052-oem"
so I tried that one.

With that my win10 install immediately crashed into the reported issue.

So to summarize:
1. I can reproduce it
2. Chances are high that it is fixed by kernel commit 841c2be0 "kvm: x86: 
replace kvm_spec_ctrl_test_value with runtime test on the host"
3. there are some qemu changes which might be related, but we need Babu to 
reply about if/how those are related

I need to get myself updated on Ubuntu oem kernels.
If there is a 5.6 series that is supposed to work on that, then this patch 
needs to be backported.
But if OTOH it is a valid upgrade path that you'll get the 5.10.0-1020-oem that 
I had or later as part of your 20.04 OEM then that "is the fix" for you @David.

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce
  install virt-manager and ovmf if nopt already there
  copy windows and virtio iso files to /var/lib/libvirt/images

  Use virt-manager from local machine to create your VMs with the disk, CPUs 
and memory required
      Select customize configuration then select OVMF(UEFI) instead of seabios
      set first CDROM to the windows installation iso (enable in boot options)
      add a second CDROM and load with the virtio iso
        change spice display to VNC

    Always get a security error from windows and it fails to launch the 
installer (works on RHEL and Fedora)
  I tried updating the qemu version from Focals 4.2 to Groovy 5.0 which was of 
no help
