[PATCH v4 05/12] KVM: x86/pmu: Error when user sets the GLOBAL_STATUS reserved bits

From: Like Xu
Date: Tue Feb 14 2023 - 00:08:46 EST


From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If the user space sets reserved bits when restoring the MSR_CORE_
PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS register, these bits will be accidentally returned
when the guest runs a read access to this register, and cannot be cleared
up inside the guest, which makes the guest's PMI handler very confused.
