target/i386: add support for MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL MSR can be used to hide TSX (also known as the
Trusty Side-channel Extension).  By virtualizing the MSR, KVM guests
can disable TSX and avoid paying the price of mitigating TSX-based
attacks on microarchitectural side channels.
