x86/sev: Improve handling of writes to intercepted TSC MSRs
Currently, when a Secure TSC enabled SNP guest attempts to write to the intercepted GUEST_TSC_FREQ MSR (a read-only MSR), the guest kernel response incorrectly implies a VMM configuration error, when in fact it is the usual VMM configuration to intercept writes to read-only MSRs, unless explicitly documented. Modify the intercepted TSC MSR #VC handling: * Write to GUEST_TSC_FREQ will generate a #GP instead of terminating the guest * Write to MSR_IA32_TSC will generate a #GP instead of silently ignoring it However, continue to terminate the guest when reading from intercepted GUEST_TSC_FREQ MSR with Secure TSC enabled, as intercepted reads indicate an improper VMM configuration for Secure TSC enabled SNP guests.
