KVM: svm: writes to MSR_K7_HWCR generates GPE in guest
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since commit 575203 the MCE subsystem in the Linux kernel for AMD sets bit 18
in MSR_K7_HWCR. Running such a kernel as a guest in KVM on an AMD host results
in a GPE injected into the guest because kvm_set_msr_common returns 1. This
patch fixes this by masking bit 18 from the MSR value desired by the guest.
