Subject: [PATCH v1 4/4] KVM: x86: Advertise support for the immediate form of MSR instructions
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2025 10:46:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250730174605.1614792-5-xin@zytor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250730174605.1614792-1-xin@zytor.com>

Advertise support for the immediate form of MSR instructions to userspace
if the instructions are supported by the underlying CPU.

The immediate form of MSR access instructions are primarily motivated
by performance, not code size: by having the MSR number in an immediate,
it is available *much* earlier in the pipeline, which allows the
hardware much more leeway about how a particular MSR is handled.
