Going back to January 2023 were patches for enabling Secure TSC support for use by SEV-SNP guests with AMD EPYC 7003 "Milan" and newer processors... Two years later and after sixteen rounds of revising the Linux kernel patches, it looks like the AMD Secure TSC support is finally ready for landing in the mainline Linux kernel. With these patches now in a TIP branch, it's possible and likely the code will be sent in as part of the upcoming Linux 6.14 merge window happening later this month. So here's to hoping that the AMD Secure TSC support will be able to make it into the Linux 6.14 upstream kernel and that the KVM and QEMU patches for it also won't be too far behind.
