[PATCH v14 04/13] x86/sev: Change TSC MSR behavior for Secure TSC enabled guests
Posted by Nikunj A Dadhania 4 weeks ago
Secure TSC enabled guests should not write to MSR_IA32_TSC(10H) register as
the subsequent TSC value reads are undefined. For AMD platform,
MSR_IA32_TSC is intercepted by the hypervisor, MSR_IA32_TSC read/write
accesses should not exit to the hypervisor for such guests.

Accesses to MSR_IA32_TSC needs special handling in the #VC handler for the
guests with Secure TSC enabled. Writes to MSR_IA32_TSC should be ignored,
and reads of MSR_IA32_TSC should return the result of the RDTSC
instruction.

rdtsc_ordered() I guess.

All that you're adding - put that in a __vc_handle_msr_tsc() helper so that it
doesn't distract from the function's flow.

Thx.

Yes, will update.

Sure, I noticed your patch adding __vc_handle_msr_caa().
