[PATCH v2.2] KVM: SVM: Add support for AMD's OSVW feature in guests

From: Boris Ostrovsky
Date: Mon Jan 09 2012 - 14:01:02 EST


From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@xxxxxxx>

In some cases guests should not provide workarounds for errata even when the
physical processor is affected. For example, because of erratum 400 on family
10h processors a Linux guest will read an MSR (resulting in VMEXIT) before
going to idle in order to avoid getting stuck in a non-C0 state. This is not
necessary: HLT and IO instructions are intercepted and therefore there is no
reason for erratum 400 workaround in the guest.

This patch allows us to present a guest with certain errata as fixed,
regardless of the state of actual hardware.
