What are SVM & MSR_VM_CR ?

[abreathingcorpse]

Hello HoShiMin,

While trying to modprobe kvm_amd I got the following error:

kvm_amd: SVM disabled (by BIOS) in MSR_VM_CR

Apparently my AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G with Radeon Graphics disables these processor extensions by default.

I couldn't find much information regarding this, but I stumbled upon your project.

Any chance you could guide as to what SVM & MSR_VM_CR stand for? Any documentation one could get to?
