[PATCH] KVM: Ignore LBR MSRs with no effect

From: Anton Kuchin
Date: Mon Jan 28 2019 - 12:51:50 EST


Win10 attempts to save these registers during KiSaveDebugRegisterState
if LBR or BTF bits are set in MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR. It uses DR7 GE and LE
flags for per-thread switching of these these features so zero value that
is returned for MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR has no effect.

These registers are used for debugging and shouldn't cause #GP and
guest crash so just return zeroes just like we do for common x86 LBR
MSRs (DEBUGCTLMSR, LAST[BRANCH|INT][TO|FROM]IP).
