This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: x86/svm: Clear reserved bits written to PerfEvtSeln MSRs to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kvm-x86-svm-clear-reserved-bits-written-to-perfevtse.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 80d87dcd9de61caf20596d192a604aea4e132fb9 Author: Jim Mattson <jmattson@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Feb 26 15:41:31 2022 -0800 KVM: x86/svm: Clear reserved bits written to PerfEvtSeln MSRs [ Upstream commit 9b026073db2f1ad0e4d8b61c83316c8497981037 ] AMD EPYC CPUs never raise a #GP for a WRMSR to a PerfEvtSeln MSR. Some reserved bits are cleared, and some are not. Specifically, on Zen3/Milan, bits 19 and 42 are not cleared. When emulating such a WRMSR, KVM should not synthesize a #GP, regardless of which bits are set. However, undocumented bits should not be passed through to the hardware MSR. So, rather than checking for reserved bits and synthesizing a #GP, just clear the reserved bits. This may seem pedantic, but since KVM currently does not support the "Host/Guest Only" bits (41:40), it is necessary to clear these bits rather than synthesizing #GP, because some popular guests (e.g Linux) will set the "Host Only" bit even on CPUs that don't support EFER.SVME, and they don't expect a #GP.
