Define an X86_FEATURE_* flag for CPUID.80000021H:EAX.[bit 1], and advertise the feature to userspace via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID. Per AMD's "Processor Programming Reference (PPR) for AMD Family 19h Model 61h, Revision B1 Processors (56713-B1-PUB)," this CPUID bit indicates that a WRMSR to MSR_FS_BASE, MSR_GS_BASE, or MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE is non-serializing. This is a change in previously architected behavior. Effectively, this CPUID bit is a "defeature" bit, or a reverse polarity feature bit. When this CPUID bit is clear, the feature (serialization on WRMSR to any of these three MSRs) is available. When this CPUID bit is set, the feature is not available. KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID must pass this bit through from the underlying hardware, if it is set. Leaving the bit clear claims that WRMSR to these three MSRs will be serializing in a guest running under KVM. That isn't true. Though KVM could emulate the feature by intercepting writes to the specified MSRs, it does not do so today. The guest is allowed direct read/write access to these MSRs without interception, so the innate hardware behavior is preserved under KVM.

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.
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.
