[PATCH v3 00/13] Add VMX TSC scaling support

[Haozhong Zhang <haozhong.zhang@intel.com>]

This patchset adds support for VMX TSC scaling feature which is
available on Intel Skylake Server CPU. The specification of VMX TSC
scaling can be found at
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/timestamp-counter-scaling-virtualization-white-paper.html

VMX TSC scaling allows guest TSC which is read by guest rdtsc(p)
instructions increases in a rate that is customized by the hypervisor
and can be different than the host TSC frequency. Basically, VMX TSC
scaling adds a 64-bit field called TSC multiplier in VMCS so that, if
VMX TSC scaling is enabled, TSC read by guest rdtsc(p) instructions
will be calculated by the following formula:

  guest EDX:EAX = (Host TSC * TSC multiplier) >> 48 + VMX TSC Offset

where, Host TSC = Host MSR_IA32_TSC + Host MSR_IA32_TSC_ADJUST.

If the destination host supports VMX TSC scaling, this patchset allows
guest programs in a HVM container in the default TSC mode or PVRDTSCP
(native_paravirt) TSC mode to observe the same TSC frequency across
the migration.

Changes in v3:
 * v2 patch 1&2 have been merged so they do not appear in v3.
 * Patch 1 - 6 correspond to v2 patch 3 - 8. Patch 7 is new.
   Patch 8 - 13 correspond to v2 patch 9 - 14.
 * Other changes are logged in each patch respectively.

Changes in v2:
 * Remove unnecessary v1 patch 1&13.
 * Add and move all bug-fix patches to the beginning of this series.
   (Patch 1 - 6)
 * Update changes in tsc_set_info() and tsc_get_info() to make both
   functions consistent with each other. (Patch 2 - 4)
 * Move a part of scaling logic out of [vmx|svm]_set_tsc_offset().
   (Patch 7)
 * Remove redundant hvm_funcs.tsc_scaling_ratio_rsvd. (Patch 8)
 * Reimplement functions that calculate TSC ratio and scale TSC.
   (Patch 9&10)
 * Merge setting VMX TSC multiplier into patch 13.
 * Move initialing tsc_scaling_ratio in VMX ahead to
   vmx_vcpu_initialise() so as to make construct_vmcs() naturally
   use this field instead of a constant. (Patch 13)
 * Update documents related to tsc_mode.
 * Other code cleanup and style fixes.
