Linus Torvalds 550c2129d9 A single fix for x86 which removes the RDPID usage from the paranoid entry
path and unconditionally uses LSL to retrieve the CPU number. RDPID depends
 on MSR_TSX_AUX.  KVM has an optmization to avoid expensive MRS read/writes
 on VMENTER/EXIT. It caches the MSR values and restores them either when
 leaving the run loop, on preemption or when going out to user
 space. MSR_TSX_AUX is part of that lazy MSR set, so after writing the guest
 value and before the lazy restore any exception using the paranoid entry
 will read the guest value and use it as CPU number to retrieve the GSBASE
 value for the current CPU when FSGSBASE is enabled. As RDPID is only used
 in that particular entry path, there is no reason to burden VMENTER/EXIT
 with two extra MSR writes. Remove the RDPID optimization, which is not even
 backed by numbers from the paranoid entry path instead.
