Testing environment is based on the EMR-2S3 platform + CentOS 9(kernel vers=
ion: 6.8.0-rc4).
Test cases include cpu, amx, umip, ptvmx, IPIv, vtd, PMU, SGX, kmv-unit-tes=
ts, kvm selftests, etc. And workload test on the guest using Netperf(bridge=
) and SPECJBB(passthrough NIC).
Except for the known issue and the previously mentioned "rdtsc_vmexit_diff_=
test", no other issue found.

Xiangfei found out an failure in kvm unit test rdtsc_vmexit_diff_test with =
below error log:
"FAIL: RDTSC to VM-exit delta too high in 100 of 100 iterations, last =3D 9=
02
FAIL: Guest didn't run to completion."

Fixed it by adding below lines in the unit test rdtsc_vmexit_diff_test befo=
re enter guest in my side.
vmcs_write(HOST_PAT, 0x6);
vmcs_clear_bits(EXI_CONTROLS, EXI_SAVE_PAT); vmcs_set_bits(EXI_CONTROLS, EX=
