This patch series add the support for bus lock VM exit in KVM. It is a sub-feature of bus lock detection. When it is enabled by the VMM, the processor generates a "Bus Lock" VM exit following execution of an instruction if the processor detects that one or more bus locks were caused the instruction was being executed (due to either direct access by the instruction or stuffed accesses like through A/D updates). This first patch applies Sean's refactor for 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 is still to be discussed. We can enforce ratelimit on bus lock in guest, inject some sleep time or maybe other ideas. Document for Bus Lock Detection is now available at the latest "Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference".
