[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] i386/kvm: advertise Hyper-V frequency MSRs

[Ladi Prosek <lprosek@redhat.com>]

This is the QEMU part of the changes required for nested Hyper-V to read
timestamps with RDTSC + TSC page. Without exposing the frequency MSRs,
Windows with the Hyper-V role enabled use the much slower
HV_X64_MSR_TIME_REF_COUNT (0x40000020) RDMSR to read timestamps.

The new registers are exposed only if the TSC frequency is stable across
migration and known, as suggested by Paolo.

Ladi Prosek (3):
  i386/kvm: use a switch statement for MSR detection
  i386/kvm: set tsc_khz before configuring Hyper-V CPUID
  i386/kvm: advertise Hyper-V frequency MSRs
