TSC value calculations for the guest are controlled by the hypervisor. A
malicious hypervisor can prevent guest from moving forward. The Secure TSC
feature for SEV-SNP allows guests to securely use the RDTSC and RDTSCP
instructions. This ensures the guest gets a consistent view of time and
prevents a malicious hypervisor from making it appear that time rolls
backwards, advancing at an unusually fast rate, or employing similar tricks.
For more details, please refer to "Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP)" section,
subsection "Secure TSC" of APM Volume 2

and is based on v6.11-rc5

Testing SecureTSC
-----------------
 
SecureTSC Guest patches:
https://github.com/AMDESE/linux-kvm/tree/sectsc-guest-latest
 
QEMU changes:
https://github.com/nikunjad/qemu/tree/snp-securetsc-latest
 
QEMU commandline SEV-SNP with SecureTSC:
 
  qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu EPYC-Milan-v2 -smp 4 \
     -object memory-backend-memfd,id=ram1,size=1G,share=true,prealloc=false,reserve=false \
     -object sev-snp-guest,id=sev0,cbitpos=51,reduced-phys-bits=1,secure-tsc=on \
     -machine q35,confidential-guest-support=sev0,memory-backend=ram1 \
     ...

Ketan Chaturvedi (2):
  KVM: SVM: Set TSC frequency for SecureTSC-enabled guests
  KVM: SVM: Add Secure TSC support for SNP Guest

Nikunj A Dadhania (3):
  x86/cpufeatures: Add SNP Secure TSC
  KVM: SVM: Add GUEST_TSC_FREQ MSR
  KVM: SVM: Prevent writes to TSC MSR when Secure TSC is enabled
