Vitaly Kuznetsov b8bbab928f KVM: nVMX: implement enlightened VMPTRLD and VMCLEAR
Per Hyper-V TLFS 5.0b:

"The L1 hypervisor may choose to use enlightened VMCSs by writing 1 to
the corresponding field in the VP assist page (see section 7.8.7).
Another field in the VP assist page controls the currently active
enlightened VMCS. Each enlightened VMCS is exactly one page (4 KB) in
size and must be initially zeroed. No VMPTRLD instruction must be
executed to make an enlightened VMCS active or current.

After the L1 hypervisor performs a VM entry with an enlightened VMCS,
the VMCS is considered active on the processor. An enlightened VMCS
can only be active on a single processor at the same time. The L1
hypervisor can execute a VMCLEAR instruction to transition an
enlightened VMCS from the active to the non-active state. Any VMREAD
or VMWRITE instructions while an enlightened VMCS is active is
unsupported and can result in unexpected behavior."

Keep Enlightened VMCS structure for the current L2 guest permanently mapped
from struct nested_vmx instead of mapping it every time.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
