kvm: x86: Disable interception for IA32_XFD on demand
Always intercepting IA32_XFD causes non-negligible overhead when this
register is updated frequently in the guest.
Disable r/w emulation after intercepting the first WRMSR(IA32_XFD)
with a non-zero value.
Disable WRMSR emulation implies that IA32_XFD becomes out-of-sync
with the software states in fpstate and the per-cpu xfd cache. This
leads to two additional changes accordingly:
- Call fpu_sync_guest_vmexit_xfd_state() after vm-exit to bring
software states back in-sync with the MSR, before handle_exit_irqoff()
is called.
- Always trap #NM once write interception is disabled for IA32_XFD.
The #NM exception is rare if the guest doesn't use dynamic
features. Otherwise, there is at most one exception per guest
task given a dynamic feature.
p.s. We have confirmed that SDM is being revised to say that
when setting IA32_XFD[18] the AMX register state is not guaranteed
to be preserved. This clarification avoids adding mess for a creative
guest which sets IA32_XFD[18]=1 before saving active AMX state to
its own storage.
