[PATCH] platform/x86: intel-uncore-freq: Prevent driver loading in guests

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

 



Loading this driver in guests results in unchecked MSR access error for
MSR 0x620.

There is no use of reading and modifying package/die scoped uncore MSRs
in guests. So check for CPU feature X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR to prevent
loading of this driver in guests.
