[PATCH v4 11/14] x86/sev: Prevent RDTSC/RDTSCP interception for Secure TSC enabled guests

From: Nikunj A Dadhania
Date: Mon Aug 14 2023 - 01:55:22 EST


The hypervisor should not be intercepting RDTSC/RDTSCP when Secure TSC
is enabled. A #VC exception will be generated if the RDTSC/RDTSCP
instructions are being intercepted. If this should occur and Secure
TSC is enabled, terminate guest execution.
