[PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: x86: Partially allow KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN for CPU hotplug

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov

Changes since v1:
- Drop the allowlist of items which were allowed to change and just allow
the exact same CPUID data [Sean, Paolo]. Adjust selftest accordingly.
- Drop PATCH1 as the exact same change got merged upstream.

Recently, KVM made it illegal to change CPUID after KVM_RUN but
unfortunately this change is not fully compatible with existing VMMs.
In particular, QEMU reuses vCPU fds for CPU hotplug after unplug and it
calls KVM_SET_CPUID2. Relax the requirement by implementing an allowing
KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} with the exact same data.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (4):
KVM: x86: Do runtime CPUID update before updating
vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries
KVM: x86: Partially allow KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN
KVM: selftests: Rename 'get_cpuid_test' to 'cpuid_test'
KVM: selftests: Test KVM_SET_CPUID2 after KVM_RUN
