[PATCH 13/28] KVM: SVM: Pass through GHCB MSR if and only if VM is an SEV-ES guest
Posted by Sean Christopherson 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Disable interception of the GHCB MSR if and only if the VM is an SEV-ES
guest.  While the exact behavior is completely undocumented in the APM,
common sense and testing on SEV-ES capable CPUs says that accesses to the
GHCB from non-SEV-ES guests will #GP.  I.e. from the guest's perspective,
no functional change intended.

Fixes: 376c6d285017 ("KVM: SVM: Provide support for SEV-ES vCPU creation/loading")
