[PATCH v4 10/10] KVM/x86/lbr: lazy save the guest lbr stack

From: Wei Wang
Date: Wed Dec 26 2018 - 05:01:07 EST


When the vCPU is scheduled in:
- if the lbr feature was used in the last vCPU time slice, set the lbr
stack to be interceptible, so that the host can capture whether the
lbr feature will be used in this time slice;
- if the lbr feature wasn't used in the last vCPU time slice, disable
the vCPU support of the guest lbr switching.

Upon the first access to one of the lbr related MSRs (since the vCPU was
scheduled in):
- record that the guest has used the lbr;
- create a host perf event to help save/restore the guest lbr stack if
the guest uses the user callstack mode lbr stack;
- pass the stack through to the guest.
