x86: KVM: Add feature flag for CPUID.80000021H:EAX[bit 1]
Define an X86_FEATURE_* flag for CPUID.80000021H:EAX.[bit 1], and
advertise the feature to userspace via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
Per AMD's "Processor Programming Reference (PPR) for AMD Family 19h
Model 61h, Revision B1 Processors (56713-B1-PUB)," this CPUID bit
indicates that a WRMSR to MSR_FS_BASE, MSR_GS_BASE, or
MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE is non-serializing. This is a change in previously
architected behavior.
Effectively, this CPUID bit is a "defeature" bit, or a reverse
polarity feature bit. When this CPUID bit is clear, the feature
(serialization on WRMSR to any of these three MSRs) is available. When
this CPUID bit is set, the feature is not available.
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID must pass this bit through from the underlying
hardware, if it is set. Leaving the bit clear claims that WRMSR to
these three MSRs will be serializing in a guest running under
KVM. That isn't true. Though KVM could emulate the feature by
intercepting writes to the specified MSRs, it does not do so
today. The guest is allowed direct read/write access to these MSRs
without interception, so the innate hardware behavior is preserved
under KVM.
