Secure TSC enabled guests should not write to the MSR_IA32_TSC (0x10) register as the subsequent TSC value reads are undefined. On AMD, MSR_IA32_TSC is intercepted by the hypervisor by default. MSR_IA32_TSC read/write accesses should not exit to the hypervisor for such guests. Accesses to MSR_IA32_TSC need special handling in the #VC handler for the guests with Secure TSC enabled. Writes to MSR_IA32_TSC should be ignored and flagged once with a warning, and reads of MSR_IA32_TSC should return the result of the RDTSC instruction.

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.
