Intel-SIG: commit 76ea438b ("KVM: X86: Expose bus lock debug exception to guest")

-------------------------------------

KVM: X86: Expose bus lock debug exception to guest

Bus lock debug exception is an ability to notify the kernel by an #DB
trap after the instruction acquires a bus lock and is executed when
CPL>0. This allows the kernel to enforce user application throttling or
mitigations.

Existence of bus lock debug exception is enumerated via
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0).ECX[24]. Software can enable these exceptions by
setting bit 2 of the MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTL. Expose the CPUID to guest and
emulate the MSR handling when guest enables it.

Support for this feature was originally developed by Xiaoyao Li and
Chenyi Qiang, but code has since changed enough that this patch has
nothing in common with theirs, except for this commit message.
