The TSC_AUX virtualization feature allows AMD SEV-ES guests to securely use TSC_AUX (auxiliary time stamp counter data) in the RDTSCP and RDPID instructions. The TSC_AUX value is set using the WRMSR instruction to the TSC_AUX MSR (0xC0000103). It is read by the RDMSR, RDTSCP and RDPID instructions. If the read/write of the TSC_AUX MSR is intercepted, then RDTSCP and RDPID must also be intercepted when TSC_AUX virtualization is present. However, the RDPID instruction can't be intercepted. This means that when TSC_AUX virtualization is present, RDTSCP and TSC_AUX MSR read/write must not be intercepted for SEV-ES (or SEV-SNP) guests.

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 Restructured Text 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.
