[PATCH 2/4] kvm: svm: Enable UMIP feature on AMD

From: Moger, Babu
Date: Fri Nov 01 2019 - 13:33:52 EST


AMD 2nd generation EPYC processors support UMIP (User-Mode Instruction
Prevention) feature. The UMIP feature prevents the execution of certain
instructions if the Current Privilege Level (CPL) is greater than 0.
If any of these instructions are executed with CPL > 0 and UMIP
is enabled, then kernel reports a #GP exception.

The idea is taken from articles:
https://lwn.net/Articles/738209/
https://lwn.net/Articles/694385/

Enable the feature if supported on bare metal and emulate instructions
to return dummy values for certain cases.
