[PATCH v2] x86/msr: add log messages to MSR state load error paths
Posted by Roger Pau Monne 5 months ago
Some error paths in the MSR state loading logic don't contain error messages,
which makes debugging them quite hard without adding extra patches to print the
information.

Add two new log messages to the MSR state load path that print information
about the entry that failed to load, for both PV and HVM.

While there also adjust XEN_DOMCTL_set_vcpu_msrs to return -ENXIO in case the
MSR is unhandled or can't be loaded, so it matches the error code used by HVM
MSR loading (and it's less ambiguous than -EINVAL).

Changes since v1:
 - Add messages to PV MSR loading.
 - Return -ENXIO from PV loading path also.
 - Do not print the return code from guest_wrmsr(), it's not specially helpful
   given the current logic, as it will always be X86EMUL_EXCEPTION in case of
   failure.

Re: [PATCH v2] x86/msr: add log messages to MSR state load error paths
Posted by Roger Pau Monné 5 months ago
I've wrongly send this together with "x86/domctl: fix maximum number
of MSRs in XEN_DOMCTL_{get,set}_vcpu_msrs".  There's a separate email
with just "[PATCH v2] x86/msr: add log messages to MSR state load
error paths".  Both have the same contents.

Roger.
