From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> Do not use GCC's "A" constraint to load EAX:EDX in wrmsr_safe(). Per GCC's documenation on x86-specific constraints, "A" will not actually load a 64-bit value into EAX:EDX on x86-64. The a and d registers. This class is used for instructions that return double word results in the ax:dx register pair. Single word values will be allocated either in ax or dx. For example on i386 the following implements rdtsc: unsigned long long rdtsc (void) { unsigned long long tick; __asm__ __volatile__("rdtsc":"=A"(tick)); return tick; } This is not correct on x86-64 as it would allocate tick in either ax or dx. You have to use the following variant instead: unsigned long long rdtsc (void) { unsigned int tickl, tickh; __asm__ __volatile__("rdtsc":"=a"(tickl),"=d"(tickh)); return ((unsigned long long)tickh << 32)|tickl; } Because a u64 fits in a single 64-bit register, using "A" for selftests, which are 64-bit only, results in GCC loading the value into either RAX or RDX instead of splitting it across EAX:EDX. E.g.: kvm_exit: reason MSR_WRITE rip 0x402919 info 0 0 kvm_msr: msr_write 40000118 = 0x60000000001 (#GP) ...
