Introduce a new test for Hyper-V nSVM extensions (Hyper-V on KVM) and add a test for enlightened MSR-Bitmap feature: - Intercept access to MSR_FS_BASE in L1 and check that this works with enlightened MSR-Bitmap disabled. - Enabled enlightened MSR-Bitmap and check that the intercept still works as expected. - Intercept access to MSR_GS_BASE but don't clear the corresponding bit from clean fields mask, KVM is supposed to skip updating MSR-Bitmap02 and thus the consequent access to the MSR from L2 will not get intercepted. - Finally, clear the corresponding bit from clean fields mask and check that access to MSR_GS_BASE is now intercepted. The test works with the assumption, that access to MSR_FS_BASE/MSR_GS_BASE is not intercepted for L1. If this ever becomes not true the test will fail as nested_svm_exit_handled_msr() always checks L1's MSR-Bitmap for L2 irrespective of clean fields. The behavior is correct as enlightened MSR-Bitmap feature is just an optimization, KVM is not obliged to ignore updates when the corresponding bit in clean fields stays clear.

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.
