[PATCH 31/40] KVM: SVM: enable LBR virtualization

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Mon Mar 31 2008 - 10:47:16 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@xxxxxxx>

This patch implements the Last Branch Record Virtualization (LBRV) feature of
the AMD Barcelona and Phenom processors into the kvm-amd module. It will only
be enabled if the guest enables last branch recording in the DEBUG_CTL MSR. So
there is no increased world switch overhead when the guest doesn't use these
MSRs.
