[PATCH hyperv-next v3 04/15] arch/x86: mshyperv: Trap on access for some synthetic MSRs

From: Roman Kisel
Date: Tue Jun 03 2025 - 20:44:31 EST


To set up and run the confidential VMBus, the guest needs the paravisor
to intercept access to some synthetic MSRs. In the non-confidential case,
the guest continues using the vendor-specific guest-host communication
protocol.

Update the hv_set_non_nested_msr() function to trap access to some
synthetic MSRs.
