This patchset exposes the "load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL" to guests for nested
VM-entry and VM-exit. There already was some existing code that supported the
VM-exit ctrl, though it had an issue and was not exposed to the guest
anyway. These patches are based on the original set that Krish Sadhukhan
sent out earlier this year.
Purpose of each patch:
(1) Change the existing code that implemented the VM-exit functionality
to use kvm_set_msr() to avoid being overwritten by
atomic_perf_switch_msrs().
(2) Update prepare_vmcs02() to implement the VM-entry functionality,
again using kvm_set_msr().
(3) Create a helper function for checking the validity of an
IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL value against pmu->global_ctrl_mask.
(4) Check guest state on VM-entry as described in the SDM.
(5) Check host state on VM-entry as described in the SDM.
(6) Expose the "load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL" VM-entry and VM-exit
controls if IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL is a valid MSR.
(7) Tests in kvm-unit-tests to check the VM-entry and VM-exit controls
work properly
