Same thing here.

Will do.

For RDTSCP, svm_recalc_instruction_intercepts() will set/clear the RDTSCP intercept as part of the svm_vcpu_set_after_cpuid() path, but it will only do it based on kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_RDTSCP) being true, which is very likely.

Do you think that is good enough and we can drop the setting and clearing of the RDTSCP intercept in the sev_es_vcpu_set_after_cpuid() function and only deal with the TSC_AUX MSR intercept?

On a side note, it looks like RDTSCP would not be intercepted if the KVM cap X86_FEATURE_RDTSCP feature is cleared, however unlikely, in kvm_set_cpu_caps() and RDTSCP is not advertised to the guest (assuming the guest is ignoring the RDTSCP CPUID bit).

Thanks,
