The configuration item CONFIG_X86_MSR:

• prompt: /dev/cpu/*/msr - Model-specific register support
• type: tristate
• depends on: (none)
• defined in arch/x86/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.24–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD
• modules built: msr, msr, msr

Help text

This device gives privileged processes access to the x86 Model-Specific Registers (MSRs). It is a character device with major 202 and minors 0 to 31 for /dev/cpu/0/msr to /dev/cpu/31/msr. MSR accesses are directed to a specific CPU on multi-processor systems.
