    KVM: SVM: Enable INVPCID feature on AMD · 4407a797
    Babu Moger authored
    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)"
