Subject: [PATCH 2/3] KVM: selftests: Fix wrmsr_safe()
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2022 17:05:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220713150532.1012466-3-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220713150532.1012466-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>

It seems to be a misconception that "A" places an u64 operand to
EAX:EDX, at least with GCC11.

While writing a new test, I've noticed that wrmsr_safe() tries putting
garbage to the upper bits of the MSR, e.g.:

  kvm_exit:             reason MSR_WRITE rip 0x402919 info 0 0
  kvm_msr:              msr_write 40000118 = 0x60000000001 (#GP)
...
when it was supposed to write '1'. Apparently, "A" works the same as
"a" and not as EAX/EDX. Here's the relevant disassembled part:

With "A":

	48 8b 43 08          	mov    0x8(%rbx),%rax
	49 b9 ba da ca ba 0a 	movabs $0xabacadaba,%r9
	00 00 00
	4c 8d 15 07 00 00 00 	lea    0x7(%rip),%r10        # 402f44 <guest_msr+0x34>
	4c 8d 1d 06 00 00 00 	lea    0x6(%rip),%r11        # 402f4a <guest_msr+0x3a>
	0f 30                	wrmsr

With "a"/"d":

	48 8b 43 08          	mov    0x8(%rbx),%rax
	48 89 c2             	mov    %rax,%rdx
	48 c1 ea 20          	shr    $0x20,%rdx
	49 b9 ba da ca ba 0a 	movabs $0xabacadaba,%r9
	00 00 00
	4c 8d 15 07 00 00 00 	lea    0x7(%rip),%r10        # 402fc3 <guest_msr+0xb3>
	4c 8d 1d 06 00 00 00 	lea    0x6(%rip),%r11        # 402fc9 <guest_msr+0xb9>
	0f 30                	wrmsr

I was only able to find one online reference that "A" gives "eax and
edx combined into a 64-bit integer", other places don't mention it at
all.
