From: Sean Christopherson @ 2026-10-22 20:30 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini; +Cc: kvm, linux-kernel, Stefan Teodorescu
Ratelimit all of the kernel log messages related to #VMGEXIT and/or GHCB
handling, as they can all be triggered at will by the guest.
Fixes: 8f423a80d299 ("KVM: SVM: Support MMIO for an SEV-ES guest")
Fixes: 8640ca588b03 ("KVM: SVM: Add AP_JUMP_TABLE support in prep for AP booting")
Fixes: e1d71116b64a ("KVM: SVM: Add support for SEV-ES GHCB MSR protocol function 0x100")
Fixes: 8d1a36e42be6 ("KVM: SEV: Add GHCB handling for termination requests")
