[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 07/10] x86/HVM: scale MPERF values reported to guests (on AMD)

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>]

AMD's PM specifies that MPERF (and its r/o counterpart) reads are
affected by the TSC ratio. Hence when processing such reads in software
we too should scale the values. While we don't currently (yet) expose
the underlying feature flags, besides us allowing the MSRs to be read
nevertheless, RDPRU is going to expose the values even to user space.

Furthermore, due to the not exposed feature flags, this change has the
effect of making properly inaccessible (for reads) the two MSRs.

Note that writes to MPERF (and APERF) continue to be unsupported.

I did consider whether to put the code in guest_rdmsr() instead, but
decided that it's better to have it next to TSC handling.
