As documented in APM[1], LBR Virtualization must be enabled for SEV-ES
guests. Although KVM currently enforces LBRV for SEV-ES guests, there
are multiple issues with it:
o MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is still intercepted. Since MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR
interception is used to dynamically toggle LBRV for performance reasons,
this can be fatal for SEV-ES guests. For ex SEV-ES guest on Zen3:
[guest ~]# wrmsr 0x1d9 0x4
KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0xffffffff
EAX=00000004 EBX=00000000 ECX=000001d9 EDX=00000000
Fix this by never intercepting MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR for SEV-ES guests.
No additional save/restore logic is required since MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR
is of swap type A.
o KVM will disable LBRV if userspace sets MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR before the
VMSA is encrypted. Fix this by moving LBRV enablement code post VMSA
encryption.
