Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: x86: Add helper to retrieve current value of user return MSR
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 14:38:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250919213806.1582673-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250919213806.1582673-1-seanjc@google.com>
From: Hou Wenlong <houwenlong.hwl@antgroup.com>
In the user return MSR support, the cached value is always the hardware
value of the specific MSR. Therefore, add a helper to retrieve the
cached value, which can replace the need for RDMSR, for example, to
allow SEV-ES guests to restore the correct host hardware value without
using RDMSR.
