[PATCH v2 1/1] x86/tdx: Handle MWAIT, MONITOR and WBINVD

From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan
Date: Sat Mar 27 2021 - 18:55:31 EST


In non-root TDX guest mode, MWAIT, MONITOR and WBINVD instructions
are not supported. So handle #VE due to these instructions as no ops.

Changes since v1:
* Added WARN() for MWAIT #VE exception.

Changes since previous series:
* Suppressed MWAIT feature as per Andi's comment.
* Added warning debug log for MWAIT #VE exception.
