x86/cpu: Add support for UMONITOR/UMWAIT/TPAUSE
UMONITOR, UMWAIT and TPAUSE are a set of user wait instructions. This patch adds support for user wait instructions in KVM. Availability of the user wait instructions is indicated by the presence of the CPUID feature flag WAITPKG CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[5]. User wait instructions may be executed at any privilege level, and use IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL MSR to set the maximum time. The patch enable the umonitor, umwait and tpause features in KVM. Because umwait and tpause can put a (psysical) CPU into a power saving state, by default we dont't expose it to kvm and enable it only when guest CPUID has it. And use QEMU command-line "-overcommit cpu-pm=on" (enable_cpu_pm is enabled), a VM can use UMONITOR, UMWAIT and TPAUSE instructions. If the instruction causes a delay, the amount of time delayed is called here the physical delay. The physical delay is first computed by determining the virtual delay (the time to delay relative to the VM’s timestamp counter). Otherwise, UMONITOR, UMWAIT and TPAUSE cause an invalid-opcode exception(#UD).
