Gleb, so I just did a trace of KVM MMU to try to understand why L2 is
stuck with shadow on EPT
Ensure, EPT is enabled on L0 & disabled on L1
On L0:
---------
$ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/ept
Y
On L1
---------
$ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/ept
N
Build and install trace-cmd on L1:
$ git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/trace-cmd.git
trace-cmd
$ make && sudo make-install
Run trace command (on L1) to capture kvmmmu event:
$ trace-cmd record -b 2000 -e kvmmmu
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvmmmu/filter
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/*/kvmmmu/filter
Hit Ctrl^C to stop recording
Boot L2 guest:
$ virsh start nguest-01 --console
After a minute or two, ctl-C the trace-cmd, generate the report:
$ trace-cmd report
version = 6
trace-cmd: No such file or directory
function is_writable_pte not defined
CPU 1 is empty
CPU 2 is empty
CPU 3 is empty

Side question: I wonder why would trace-cmd say "trace-cmd: No such
file or directory"?
