KVM will inject a #GP into the guest if that tries to access unhandled MSRs. This will crash many guests. Although it would be the correct way to actually handle these MSRs, we introduce a runtime switchable module param called "ignore_msrs" (defaults to 0). If this is Y, unknown MSR reads will return 0, while MSR writes are simply dropped. In both cases we print a message to dmesg to inform the user about that. You can change the behaviour at any time by saying: # echo 1 > /sys/modules/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> --- arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
