Subject: [PATCH RFC] x86: Limit MSR_IA32_THERM_CONTROL and MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 15:46:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450471606-19129-2-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1450471606-19129-1-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
Those two allow the OS pinned dom0 to change the T-state
(throttling) behind the Xen cpufreq code.
The patch that introduced this: f78e2193b6409577314167ed9e077de7ac3e652f
x86: Enable THERM_CONTROL_MSR write for dom0 even when cpufreq=xen

is very lacking on details.
Anyhow this patch in effect reverts the above commit. It is also
lacking in details :-)
