Subject: [PATCH 6/8][KVM nVMX]: Load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR on vmentry of nested guests
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2019 19:17:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190424231724.2014-7-krish.sadhukhan@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190424231724.2014-1-krish.sadhukhan@oracle.com>

According to section "Loading Guest State" in Intel SDM vol 3C, the
IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR is loaded on vmentry of nested guests:

    "If the “load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL” VM-entry control is 1, the
     IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR is loaded from the IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL
     field."
