So I debug this a bit more. This also breaks nested virt (VMX). We have here:
[ 345.504403] kvm [1491]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0x4e data 0x0
[ 345.758560] kvm [1491]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0x1c9 data 0x0
[ 345.758594] kvm [1491]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0x1a6 data 0x0
[ 345.758619] kvm [1491]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0x1a7 data 0x0
[ 345.758644] kvm [1491]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0x3f6 data 0x0
[ 345.951601] kvm [1493]: vcpu1 unhandled rdmsr: 0x4e data 0x0
[ 351.857036] kvm [1493]: vcpu1 unhandled wrmsr: 0xc90 data 0xfffff
After this commit, -ENOENT is returned to vcpu_enter_guest() causes the
userspace to abort.
kvm_msr_ignored_check()
kvm_set_msr()
kvm_emulate_wrmsr()
vmx_handle_exit()
vcpu_enter_guest()
Something like below will unbreak the userspace, but does anyone has a better
idea?
