Add the support for bus lock VM exit in KVM. It is a sub-feature of bus lock detection. Another sub-feature named bus lock debug exception is blocked due to requirement to rework the HW design: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87r1stmi1x.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ In this patch series, the first patch applies Sean's refactor to vcpu_vmx.exit_reason available at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11500659. It is necessary as bus lock VM exit adds a new modifier bit(bit 26) in exit_reason field in VMCS. The second patch is the enabling work for bus lock VM exit. Add the support to set the capability to enable bus lock vm exit. The current implementation just exit to user space when handling the bus lock detected in guest. The concrete throttling policy in user space still needs to be discussed. We can enforce ratelimit on bus lock in guest, just inject some sleep time, or any other ideas? Document for Bus Lock Detection is now available at the latest "Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference". Document Link: https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/download/intel-architecture-instruction-set-extensions-programming-reference.html v1->v2 Changelogs: - resolve Vitaly's comment to introduce the KVM_EXIT_BUS_LOCK and a capability to enable it. - add the support to exit to user space when handling bus locks. - extend the vcpu->run->flags to indicate bus lock detected for other exit reasons when exiting to user space.
