Start in the VMM AMD-V/SVM handling, using the reported VERR_SVM_UNKNOWN_EXIT and nested-guest VMCB cache log entries as search terms; the issue does not name source files or tests. Reproduce by starting a KVM guest inside the Debian VM with nested virtualization enabled, then inspect the VM log around the SVM exit and the repeated catch-up messages. Done means the nested guest can run without the host VM entering Guru Meditation.

What happened?

The whole VM stops with VCPU6: Guru Meditation -4060 (VERR_SVM_UNKNOWN_EXIT) (state GURU_MEDITATION, rcLastExitToR3 = VERR_SVM_UNKNOWN_EXIT) when a nested KVM guest is started inside a Debian guest with Nested VT-x/AMD-V enabled. The nested guest is Android Cuttlefish (crosvm using /dev/kvm).

The log shows fNestedPaging = false in the nested-guest VMCB cache on all CPUs, and repeated TM: Giving up catch-up attempt messages before the crash.

Host: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (Zen 3), 32 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200.9711. Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform and VBS are disabled; VBoxManage list hostinfo reports Processor supports nested HW virtualization: yes.

Guest: Debian 13 x86_64, 8 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM, VBoxManage modifyvm --nested-hw-virt on, Guest Additions installed, /dev/kvm present in the guest.

Likely reproducible with any KVM guest (QEMU or crosvm) started inside the VM; not specific to Cuttlefish. The attached VBox.log has usernames and the VM name scrubbed.

Relevant VBox.log excerpt

How can we reproduce this?
  1. On a Windows 11 host with an AMD CPU (Hyper-V/VBS disabled), create a Debian 13 x86_64 VM, 8 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM, and enable Nested VT-x/AMD-V (VBoxManage modifyvm <vm> --nested-hw-virt on). Confirm /dev/kvm exists in the guest.
  2. In the guest, install Android Cuttlefish 1.57.0 (cuttlefish-base and cuttlefish-user from the google/android-cuttlefish apt repo) and add your user to the kvm, cvdnetwork and render groups. Reboot.
  3. mkdir ~/cf && cd ~/cf && cvd fetch --default_build=aosp-android-latest-release/aosp_cf_x86_64_only_phone-userdebug
  4. cvd create --host_path=$HOME/cf --product_path=$HOME/cf --cpus=4 --memory_mb=6144
  5. Wait about a minute while the nested guest boots. The VM then enters Guru Meditation with VERR_SVM_UNKNOWN_EXIT.
