I was looking through ubsan and found this relevant.Hp envy runs on
x64 but the bug seems to mention (ia64).

 I see two versions rdmsrl and rdmsrl_safe.
These values are filled by rdmsrl .Does changing to safe function help .

 Can an exception ever happen in case of  MSR_IA32_APERF ?

Those values certainly cannot be negative and so huge.
