KVM: VMX: Implement PCID/INVPCID for guests with EPT
This patch handles PCID/INVPCID for guests. Process-context identifiers (PCIDs) are a facility by which a logical processor may cache information for multiple linear-address spaces so that the processor may retain cached information when software switches to a different linear address space. Refer to section 4.10.1 in IA32 Intel Software Developer's Manual Volume 3A for details. For guests with EPT, the PCID feature is enabled and INVPCID behaves as running natively. For guests without EPT, the PCID feature is disabled and INVPCID triggers #UD. Signed-off-by: Junjie Mao <junjie.mao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
