x86/tsc_msr: Fix rdmsr(MSR_PLATFORM_INFO) unsafe warning in KVM guest
After this commit:
fc273eeef314 ("x86/tsc_msr: Extend to include Intel Core Architecture")
The following unsafe MSR reading warning triggers:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/mm/extable.c:50 ex_handler_rdmsr_unsafe+0x6a/0x70 unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0xce Call Trace: dump_stack+0x67/0x99 __warn+0xd1/0xf0 warn_slowpath_fmt+0x4f/0x60 ex_handler_rdmsr_unsafe+0x6a/0x70 fixup_exception+0x39/0x50 do_general_protection+0x93/0x1b0 general_protection+0x22/0x30 ? cpu_khz_from_msr+0xd8/0x1c0 native_calibrate_cpu+0x30/0x5b0 tsc_init+0x2b/0x297 x86_late_time_init+0xf/0x11 start_kernel+0x398/0x451 ? set_init_arg+0x55/0x55 x86_64_start_reservations+0x2f/0x31 x86_64_start_kernel+0xea/0xed
As Radim pointed out before:
| MSR_PLATFORM_INFO: Intel changes it from family to family and there is | no obvious overlap or default. If we picked 0 (any other fixed value), | then the guest would have to know that 0 doesn't mean that | MSR_PLATFORM_INFO returned 0, but that KVM doesn't emulate this MSR and | the value cannot be used. This is very similar to handling a #GP in the | guest, but also has a disadvantage, because KVM cannot say that | MSR_PLATFORM_INFO is 0. Simple emulation is not possible.
Fix it by using rdmsr_safe(MSR_PLATFORM_INFO) in KVM guest to not trigger a #GP, then tsc will be calibrated by a fallback method: PIT, HPET etc.
