[ 17/37] KVM: VMX: Advertise CPU_BASED_RDPMC_EXITING for nested guests

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Aug 16 2012 - 23:35:45 EST


3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Based on commit fee84b079d5ddee2247b5c1f53162c330c622902 upstream.

Intercept RDPMC and forward it to the PMU emulation code.

Newer vmx support will only allow to load the kvm_intel module
if RDPMC_EXITING is supported. Even without the actual support
this part of the change is required on 3.2 hosts.
