The branch stable/13 has been updated by grehan: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=4bb2057c13b5894393034d82899c930e36c34153 commit 4bb2057c13b5894393034d82899c930e36c34153 Author: Corvin Köhne <C.Koehne@beckhoff.com> AuthorDate: 2021-04-15 03:49:19 +0000 Commit: Peter Grehan <grehan@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2021-06-28 10:08:56 +0000 bhyve: implement rdmsr for MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL Without the -w option, Windows guests crash on boot. This is caused by a rdmsr of MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL. Windows checks this MSR to determine enabled VMX features. This MSR isn't emulated in bhyve, so a #GP exception is injected which causes Windows to crash. Fix by returning a rdmsr of MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL with Lock Bit set and VMX disabled to informWindows that VMX isn't available.
