Normally, genuine Hyper-V doesn't expose architectural invariant TSC
(CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8]) to its guests by default. A special PV MSR
(HV_X64_MSR_TSC_INVARIANT_CONTROL, 0x40000118) and corresponding CPUID
feature bit (CPUID.0x40000003.EAX[15]) were introduced. When bit 0 of the
PV MSR is set, invariant TSC bit starts to show up in CPUID. When the
feature is exposed to Hyper-V guests, reenlightenment becomes unneeded.
Add the feature to KVM. Keep CPUID output intact when the feature
wasn't exposed to L1 and implement the required logic for hiding
invariant TSC when the feature was exposed and invariant TSC control
MSR wasn't written to. Copy genuine Hyper-V behavior and forbid to
disable the feature once it was enabled.
For the reference, for linux guests, support for the feature was added
in commit dce7cd62754b ("x86/hyperv: Allow guests to enable InvariantTSC").

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.
