KVM currently allows userspace to read/write MSRs even after the VMSA is encrypted. This can cause unintentional issues if MSR access has side- effects. For ex, while migrating a guest, userspace could attempt to migrate MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR and end up unintentionally disabling LBRV on the target. Fix this by preventing access to those MSRs which are context switched via the VMSA, once the VMSA is encrypted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
