For compatibility with userspace the MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO can be set even when the feature is not exposed to the guest, which breaks assumptions that it has the default value in this case.

It's not clear how QEMU ends up writing MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO_DEFAULT rather than 0, but we clearly have a bug in KVM. It should not allow writing 0 in the first place if tsc-ratio is not available in the VM.
Qemu currently (the code is very new so it can be changed) writes the initial value of 0 to this msr if tsc scaling is disabled in the guest, or MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO_DEFAULT if the tsc scaling is enabled.
The guest can change it only when TSC scaling is enabled for it. If tsc scaling is not enabled, both guest reads or writes of this MSR get #GP.
I only allowed qemu writes of this msr because I thought that qemu might first set the MSR and then set guest CPUID.
Also, for example the MSR_IA32_XSS uses the same logic in KVM.
As for why qemu sets this msr regardless of guest CPUID bit, it seemed to be cleaner this way - kvm_put_msrs in qemu seems not to check guest CPUID but rather only check that KVM supports this msr, which will be true regardless of guest's CPUID bit.
What do you think?
Best regards, Maxim Levitsky
If QEMU really can get itself in this situation, we cannot fix this except with KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS (a quirk that would accept and ignore host-initiated writes if the CPUID bit is not available) or perhaps with a pr_warn_ratelimited and a quick deprecation cycle, until some time after 6.2.1 is released.
Hmmm... maybe the issue is actually that KVM *returns* 0 from KVM_GET_MSRS? And in this case, fixing KVM would also prevent QEMU from sending the bogus KVM_SET_MSRS?
Thanks,
Paolo
