Several MSRs are constant and only used in userspace(ring 3). But VMs may have different values. KVM uses kvm_set_user_return_msr() to switch to guest's values and leverages user return notifier to restore them when the kernel is to return to userspace. To eliminate unnecessary wrmsr, KVM also caches the value it wrote to an MSR last time. TDX module unconditionally resets some of these MSRs to architectural INIT state on TD exit. It makes the cached values in kvm_user_return_msrs are inconsistent with values in hardware. This inconsistency needs to be fixed. Otherwise, it may mislead kvm_on_user_return() to skip restoring some MSRs to the host's values. kvm_set_user_return_msr() can help correct this case, but it is not optimal as it always does a wrmsr. So, introduce a variation of kvm_set_user_return_msr() to update cached values and skip that wrmsr.

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.
