Package: linux-image

Version: 4.9.168-1+deb9u2


I'm running debian 9.9 stretch and after installing the recent security update, https://www.debian.org/security/2019/dsa-4444, my machine now runs the 4.9.0-9 kernel but no-longer runs my kvm guest VM's.  Using modprobe and dmesg, I see the following kvm-intel module errors:


kernel: [    6.234764] kvm_intel: Unknown symbol cpu_tlbstate (err -22)
kernel: [    6.235463] kvm_intel: Unknown symbol mds_user_clear (err 0)
kernel: [    6.330732] kvm_intel: disagrees about version of symbol cpu_tlbstate


I've tried re-installing the kvm modules per the visualization wiki to no avail and I've tried installing the linux-microcode package but that hasn't helped either.  I ended up backing out the linux-microcode package and have booted back to the 4.9.0-8 kernel.  Going back to this previous kernel has solved the issue and my guest VM's are now running fine.

Either you did not reboot after upgrading the kernel, or the boot
loader is loading an old version of the kernel.

This is not a bug in the kernel package.
