[PATCH 0/2] Fix MSR_IA32_PLATFORM_ID access for TDX guests

[Binbin Wu]

Since commit d8630b67ca1e ("x86/cpu: Add platform ID to CPU info
structure"), the Linux kernel reads MSR_IA32_PLATFORM_ID during CPU
init. This causes unchecked MSR access errors when running as a TDX
guest, because KVM doesn't include MSR_IA32_PLATFORM_ID in
tdx_has_emulated_msr().

On KVM side, this patch set adds MSR_IA32_PLATFORM_ID to
tdx_has_emulated_msr() so that KVM returns 0 for TDs reading this MSR,
consistent with how KVM already handles it for normal VMs.

Optionally, in order to provide back-compatibility for newer Linux guests
running on older KVM hosts without the fix, the second patch skips the
MSR_IA32_PLATFORM_ID read entirely when Linux is running in a
virtualized environment. This could be dropped if we think the fix on
KVM side is sufficient.

Binbin Wu (2):
  KVM: TDX: Allow TDs to read MSR_IA32_PLATFORM_ID
  x86/cpu: Skip reading MSR_IA32_PLATFORM_ID in virtualized environment
