Subject: [PATCH v2 15/32] KVM: SVM: Pass through GHCB MSR if and only if VM is an SEV-ES guest
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 15:57:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250610225737.156318-16-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250610225737.156318-1-seanjc@google.com>
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")
