This patch series enables the Last Branch Recording feature for the guest. Instead of trapping each LBR stack MSR access, the MSRs are passthroughed to the guest. Those MSRs are switched (i.e. load and saved) on VMExit and VMEntry. Test: Try "perf record -b ./test_program" on guest. Wei Wang (4): KVM/vmx: re-write the msr auto switch feature KVM/vmx: auto switch

I tried latest xen and linux-xen staging tree, but failed to run HVM domain on x86-64 environment. domU creation is OK. However the weird thing is not HVM domain itself. Instead system crashed on dom0 context. I saw once with some stack dump that xen''s page fault handler is executed on a dom0''s stack which then causes nested page fault due to unable to fetch vcpu pointer.
