UMWAIT and TPAUSE instructions use 32bit IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL at MSR index E1H to determines the maximum time in TSC-quanta that the processor can reside in either C0.1 or C0.2. This patch emulates MSR IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL in guest and differentiate IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL between host and guest. The variable mwait_control_cached in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/umwait.c caches the MSR value, so this patch uses it to avoid frequently rdmsr of IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL.

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.
