[PATCH v3 00/15] KVM: x86: Add "governed" X86_FEATURE framework

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Aug 15 2023 - 16:38:23 EST


Third and hopefully final version of the framework to manage and cache
KVM-governed features, i.e. CPUID based features that require explicit
KVM enabling and/or need to be queried semi-frequently by KVM.

This version is just the governed features patches, as I kept the TSC
scaling patches in kvm-x86/misc but blasted away the goverend features
with a forced push.

My plan is again to apply this quite quickly so that it can be used as
a base for other series.

v3:
- "Drop" TSC scaling patches (already applied).
- Remove dead xsave_enabled code (snuck into v2 by a bad conflict
resolution). [Zeng]
- Make kvm_is_governed_feature() return a bool. [Zeng]
- Collect a review. [Yuan]

v2:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230729011608.1065019-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
- Add patches to clean up TSC scaling.
- Add a comment explaining the virtual VMLOAD/VMLAVE vs. SYSENTER on
Intel madness.
- Use a governed feature for X86_FEATURE_VMX.
- Incorporate KVM capabilities into the main check-and-set helper. [Chao]

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230217231022.816138-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx

Sean Christopherson (15):
