[RFC PATCH 3/3] x86/cpu/amd, kvm: Satisfy guest kernel reads of IC_CFG MSR

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Sat Nov 14 2015 - 05:37:27 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

The kernel accesses IC_CFG MSR (0xc0011021) on AMD because it checks
whether the way access filter is enabled on some F15h models, and, if
so, disables it.

kvm doesn't handle that MSR access and complains about it, which can
get really noisy in dmesg when one starts kvm guests all the time for
testing. And it is useless anyway - guest kernel shouldn't be doing such
changes anyway so tell it that that filter is disabled.
