KVM: introduce module parameter for ignoring unknown MSRs accesses
KVM will inject a #GP into the guest if that tries to access unhandled MSRs. This will crash many guests. Although it would be the correct way to actually handle these MSRs, we introduce a runtime switchable module param called "ignore_msrs" (defaults to 0). If this is Y, unknown MSR reads will return 0, while MSR writes are simply dropped. In both cases we print a message to dmesg to inform the user about that. You can change the behaviour at any time by saying: # echo 1 > /sys/modules/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs Signed-off-by:Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> Signed-off-by:
