If MSR access is rejected by MSR filtering,
kvm_set_msr()/kvm_get_msr() would return KVM_MSR_RET_FILTERED,
and the return value is only handled well for rdmsr/wrmsr.
However, some instruction emulation and state transition also
use kvm_set_msr()/kvm_get_msr() to do msr access but may trigger
some unexpected results if MSR access is rejected, E.g. RDPID
emulation would inject a #UD but RDPID wouldn't cause a exit
when RDPID is supported in hardware and ENABLE_RDTSCP is set.
And it would also cause failure when load MSR at nested entry/exit.
Since msr filtering is based on MSR bitmap, it is better to only
do MSR filtering for rdmsr/wrmsr.

History
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.
