Use hypercall to emulate MSR read/write for the TDX platform. There are two viable approaches for doing MSRs in a TD guest: 1. Execute the RDMSR/WRMSR instructions like most VMs and bare metal do. Some will succeed, others will cause a #VE. All of those that cause a #VE will be handled with a TDCALL. 2. Use paravirt infrastructure. The paravirt hook has to keep a list of which MSRs would cause a #VE and use a TDCALL. All other MSRs execute RDMSR/WRMSR instructions directly. The second option can be ruled out because the list of MSRs was challenging to maintain. That leaves option #1 as the only viable solution for the minimal TDX support. Kernel relies on the exception fixup machinery to handle MSR access errors. #VE handler uses the same exception fixup code as #GP. It covers MSR accesses along with other types of fixups. For performance-critical MSR writes (like TSC_DEADLINE), future patches will replace the WRMSR/#VE sequence with the direct TDCALL. RDMSR and WRMSR specification details can be found in Guest-Host-Communication Interface (GHCI) for Intel Trust Domain Extensions (Intel TDX) specification, sec titled "TDG.VP. VMCALL<Instruction.RDMSR>" and "TDG.VP.VMCALL<Instruction.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 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.
