x86/tdx: Add MSR support for TDX guests
Use hypercall to emulate MSR read/write for the TDX platform.
There are two viable approaches for doing MSRs in a TD guest:
1. Execute the RDMSR/WRMSR instructions like most VMs and bare metal
do. Some will succeed, others will cause a #VE. All of those that
cause a #VE will be handled with a TDCALL.
2. Use paravirt infrastructure. The paravirt hook has to keep a list
of which MSRs would cause a #VE and use a TDCALL. All other MSRs
execute RDMSR/WRMSR instructions directly.
The second option can be ruled out because the list of MSRs was
challenging to maintain. That leaves option #1 as the only viable
solution for the minimal TDX support.
Kernel relies on the exception fixup machinery to handle MSR access
errors. #VE handler uses the same exception fixup code as #GP. It
covers MSR accesses along with other types of fixups.
For performance-critical MSR writes (like TSC_DEADLINE), future patches
will replace the WRMSR/#VE sequence with the direct TDCALL.
RDMSR and WRMSR specification details can be found in
Guest-Host-Communication Interface (GHCI) for Intel Trust Domain
Extensions (Intel TDX) specification, sec titled "TDG.VP.
VMCALL<Instruction.RDMSR>" and "TDG.VP.VMCALL<Instruction.WRMSR>".
