Hm, MSR_TSC_AUX is in host_save_user_msrs[], so we save it on every
svm_vcpu_load() and restore on svm_vcpu_put(). Linux does not use
RDTSCP and every transition to userspace has svm_vcpu_put() in between.
We also still do "wrmsrl(MSR_TSC_AUX, svm->tsc_aux);" in svm_set_msr()
and can switch to userspace without performing svm_vcpu_run() first.
Was this patch fixing the host userspace or something in the guest?
Thanks.
