REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4745 This commit fixes the issue reported in the BZ4745. The wrmsr function was always writing 0 to the higher 32 bits of the msr register. This was due to a logical flaw in the code, where the input variable of type unsigned int was left shitted by 32 bits without explicitly converting to a 64 bit value. Problematic statement in the function edk2_wrmsr code: data = vedx << 32 | veax; Where the vedx an unsigned int, after left shifting by 32 bits its value will be set to 0. Because of this the higher 32 bits of the MSR are always set to 0. This statement has been modified as below: data = (((UINT64)vedx) << 32) | veax; Verified the function by making this change and could see that the wrmsr is working as expected.
