[PATCH v14 04/13] x86/sev: Change TSC MSR behavior for Secure TSC enabled guests

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Secure TSC enabled guests should not write to MSR_IA32_TSC(10H) register as
the subsequent TSC value reads are undefined. For AMD platform,
MSR_IA32_TSC is intercepted by the hypervisor, MSR_IA32_TSC read/write
accesses should not exit to the hypervisor for such guests.

Accesses to MSR_IA32_TSC needs special handling in the #VC handler for the
guests with Secure TSC enabled. Writes to MSR_IA32_TSC should be ignored,
and reads of MSR_IA32_TSC should return the result of the RDTSC
instruction.
