Subject: [PATCH v2 02/13] KVM: SVM: Add missing save/restore handling of LBR MSRs
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 22:29:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251110222922.613224-3-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251110222922.613224-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>

MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR and LBR MSRs are currently not enumerated by
KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, and LBR MSRs cannot be set with KVM_SET_MSRS. So
save/restore is completely broken.

Fix it by adding the MSRs to msrs_to_save_base, and allowing writes to
LBR MSRs from userspace only (as they are read-only MSRs). Additionally,
to correctly restore L1's LBRs while L2 is running, make sure the LBRs
are copied from the captured VMCB01 save area in svm_copy_vmrun_state().

Fixes: 24e09cbf480a ("KVM: SVM: enable LBR virtualization")
