[PATCH 32/43] KVM: x86: Ignore reads to EVNTSEL MSRs
From: Avi Kivity
Date: Mon May 18 2009 - 05:35:42 EST
From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@xxxxxxxxxx>
We ignore writes to the performance counters and performance event
selector registers already. Kaspersky antivirus reads the eventsel
MSR causing it to crash with the current behaviour.
Return 0 as data when the eventsel registers are read to stop the
crash.
