Subject: kernel-selftests/kvm: kvm.tsc_msrs_test.fail
hi,
When I do the kvm test in kernel v5.15 by "make run_tests -C tools/testing/selftests/kvm" get following error.
# selftests: kvm: tsc_msrs_test

The MSR_IA32_TSC register can not be set correctly in guest mode in some machine.
But MSR_IA32_TSC register can be set correctly in host mode in that machine.
Although there are two CPU mode machines both support following function.
IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR supported = true
TSC: time stamp counter = true
Test passed in cpu mode: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Test failed in cpu mode: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6770HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz.
Add print code to check MSR_IA32_TSC value.
