The L1 hypervisor may include the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR in the vmcs12 MSR VM-exit MSR-store area as a way of determining the highest TSC value that might have been observed by L2 prior to VM-exit. The current implementation does not capture a very tight bound on this value. To tighten the bound, add the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR to the vmcs02 VM-exit MSR-store area whenever it appears in the vmcs12 VM-exit MSR-store area. When L0 processes the vmcs12 VM-exit MSR-store area during the emulation of an L2->L1 VM-exit, special-case the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR, using the value stored in the vmcs02 VM-exit MSR-store area to derive the value to be stored in the vmcs12 VM-exit MSR-store area. v3 -> v4: - Squash the final commit with the previous one used to prepare the MSR-store area. There is no need for this split after all. v2 -> v3: - Rename NR_MSR_ENTRIES to NR_LOADSAVE_MSRS - Pull setup code for preparing the MSR-store area out of the final commit and put it in it's own commit (4/5). - Export vmx_find_msr_index() in the final commit instead of in commit 3/5 as it isn't until the final commit that we actually use it. v1 -> v2: - Rename function nested_vmx_get_msr_value() to nested_vmx_get_vmexit_msr_value(). - Remove unneeded tag 'Change-Id' from commit messages.
