What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

x86/amd_nb: Use rdmsr_safe() in amd_get_mmconfig_range()

Xen doesn't offer MSR_FAM10H_MMIO_CONF_BASE to all guests. This results

in the following warning:

unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0xc0010058 at rIP: 0xffffffff8101d19f (xen_do_read_msr+0x7f/0xa0)

based on quirks for a "PNP0c01" device. Treating MMCFG as disabled is the

right course of action, so no change is needed there.

This was most likely exposed by fixing the Xen MSR accessors to not be

silently-safe.
