Subject: [PATCH] kvm: x86: Add AMD's EX_CFG to the list of ignored MSRs
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2018 22:34:18 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181218003418.30144-1-ehabkost@redhat.com> (raw)
Some guests OSes (including Windows 10) write to MSR 0xc001102c
on some cases (possibly while trying to apply a CPU errata).
Make KVM ignore reads and writes to that MSR, so the guest won't
crash.
The MSR is documented as "Execution Unit Configuration (EX_CFG)",
at AMD's "BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for AMD Family
15h Models 00h-0Fh Processors".
