[PATCH v7 10/12] KVM/x86/lbr: lazy save the guest lbr stack

From: Wei Wang
Date: Sun Jul 07 2019 - 22:06:44 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;
- pass the stack through to the guest.
