From: Mingwei Zhang <[email protected]>
Clear RDPMC_EXITING in vmcs cpu based execution control to allow rdpmc
instruction to proceed without VMEXIT. This gives performance to
passthrough PMU. Clear RDPMC in vmx_vcpu_after_set_cpuid() when guest
enables PMU and passthrough PMU is allowed.
The passthrough RDPMC allows guest to read several PMU MSRs including
unexposed counters like fixed counter 3 as well as IA32_PERF_METRICS.
To cope with this issue, these MSRs will be cleared in later commits when
context switching to VM guest.
