Force clear bits 63:32 of MSR_TSC_AUX on write to emulate current AMD CPUs, which completely ignore the upper 32 bits, including dropping them on write. Emulating AMD hardware will also allow migrating a vCPU from AMD hardware to Intel hardware without requiring userspace to manually clear the upper bits, which are reserved on Intel hardware. Presumably, MSR_TSC_AUX[63:32] are intended to be reserved on AMD, but sadly the APM doesn't say _anything_ about those bits in the context of MSR access. The RDTSCP entry simply states that RCX contains bits 31:0 of the MSR, zero extended. And even worse is that the RDPID description implies that it can consume all 64 bits of the MSR: RDPID reads the value of TSC_AUX MSR used by the RDTSCP instruction into the specified destination register. Normal operand size prefixes do not apply and the update is either 32 bit or 64 bit based on the current mode. Emulate current hardware behavior to give KVM the best odds of playing nice with whatever the behavior of future AMD CPUs happens to be.

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.
