Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: SVM: Add Bus Lock Detect support
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 08:12:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121081228.426974-1-shivansh.dhiman@amd.com> (raw)
From: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@amd.com>
Add Bus Lock Detect support in AMD SVM. Bus Lock Detect is enabled through
MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR and MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is virtualized only if LBR
Virtualization is enabled. Add this dependency in the SVM.
While adding Bus Lock Detect support, also fix DR6 handling in nested
virtualization. Using DR6_FIXED_1 to prevent reset of BLD bit (bit 11)
between VMRUNs. However, it preserves DR6_RTM, which is a reserved bit
on AMD processors. So, DR6_RTM bit must always be set to 1.
