    KVM: X86: Emulate MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MWAIT bit · 511a8556
    Wanpeng Li 提交于
    MSR IA32_MISC_ENABLE bit 18, according to SDM:
    
    | When this bit is set to 0, the MONITOR feature flag is not set (CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] = 0).
    | This indicates that MONITOR/MWAIT are not supported.
    |
    | Software attempts to execute MONITOR/MWAIT will cause #UD when this bit is 0.
    |
    | When this bit is set to 1 (default), MONITOR/MWAIT are supported (CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] = 1).
    
    The CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] ought to mirror the value of the MSR bit,
    CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] is a better guard than kvm_mwait_in_guest().
    kvm_mwait_in_guest() affects the behavior of MONITOR/MWAIT, not its
    guest visibility.
    
    This patch implements toggling of the CPUID bit based on guest writes
    to the MSR.
