[PATCH] KVM: VMX: expose the host's ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR to userspace

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Fri Feb 23 2018 - 19:52:40 EST


Use the new MSR feature framework to expose the ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR to
userspace. This way, userspace can access the capabilities even if it
does not have the permissions to read MSRs.
