 [Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH] x86/msr: handle IA32_THERM_STATUS
 Windows 8 will attempt to read MSR_IA32_THERM_STATUS and panic if a
#GP fault is injected as a result:
vmx.c:3035:d8v0 RDMSR 0x0000019c unimplemented
d8v0 VIRIDIAN CRASH: 3b c0000096 fffff8061de31651 fffff4088a613720 0
So handle the MSR and return 0 instead.
Note that this is done on the generic MSR handler, and PV guest will
also get 0 back when trying to read the MSR. There doesn't seem to be
much value in handling the MSR for HVM guests only.
Fixes: 84e848fd7a1 ('x86/hvm: disallow access to unknown MSRs')
