      KVM: VMX: Implement PCID/INVPCID for guests with EPT · ad756a16
      Mao, Junjie authored
      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.
