KVM: Handle MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
Intel CPUs having Turbo Boost feature implement an MSR to provide a control interface via rdmsr/wrmsr instructions. One could detect the presence of this feature by issuing one of these instructions and handling the #GP exception which is generated in case the referenced MSR is not implemented by the CPU. KVM's vCPU model behaves exactly as a real CPU in this case by injecting a fault when MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL is called (which KVM does not support). However, some operating systems use this register during an early boot stage in which their kernel is not capable of handling #GP correctly, causing #DP and finally a triple fault effectively resetting the vCPU. This patch implements a dummy handler for MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL to avoid the crashes. Signed-off-by: NDmitry Bilunov <kmeaw@yandex-team.ru> Signed-off-by: NRadim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com>
