KVM: SVM: Enable INVPCID feature on AMD
The following intercept bit has been added to support VMEXIT for INVPCID instruction: Code Name Cause A2h VMEXIT_INVPCID INVPCID instruction The following bit has been added to the VMCB layout control area to control intercept of INVPCID: Byte Offset Bit(s) Function 14h 2 intercept INVPCID Enable the interceptions when the the guest is running with shadow page table enabled and handle the tlbflush based on the invpcid instruction type. For the guests with nested page table (NPT) support, the INVPCID feature works as running it natively. KVM does not need to do any special handling in this case. AMD documentation for INVPCID feature is available at "AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 2: System Programming, Pub. 24593 Rev. 3.34(or later)" The documentation can be obtained at the links below: Link: https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/24593.pdf Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206537 Signed-off-by:Babu Moger <babu.moger@amd.com> Reviewed-by:
