    KVM: SEV-ES: Delegate LBR virtualization to the processor · b7e4be0a
    Ravi Bangoria authored
    As documented in APM[1], LBR Virtualization must be enabled for SEV-ES
    guests. Although KVM currently enforces LBRV for SEV-ES guests, there
    are multiple issues with it:
    
    o MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is still intercepted. Since MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR
      interception is used to dynamically toggle LBRV for performance reasons,
      this can be fatal for SEV-ES guests. For ex SEV-ES guest on Zen3:
    
      [guest ~]# wrmsr 0x1d9 0x4
      KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0xffffffff
      EAX=00000004 EBX=00000000 ECX=000001d9 EDX=00000000
    
      Fix this by never intercepting MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR for SEV-ES guests.
      No additional save/restore logic is required since MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR
      is of swap type A.
    
    o KVM will disable LBRV if userspace sets MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR before the
      VMSA is encrypted. Fix this by moving LBRV enablement code post VMSA
      encryption.
