Sean Christopherson 176bfc5b17 KVM: nSVM: Advertise support for flush-by-ASID
Advertise support for FLUSHBYASID when nested SVM is enabled, as KVM can
always emulate flushing TLB entries for a vmcb12 ASID, e.g. by running L2
with a new, fresh ASID in vmcb02.  Some modern hypervisors, e.g. VMWare
Workstation 17, require FLUSHBYASID support and will refuse to run if it's
not present.

Punt on proper support, as "Honor L1's request to flush an ASID on nested
VMRUN" is one of the TODO items in the (incomplete) list of issues that
need to be addressed in order for KVM to NOT do a full TLB flush on every
nested SVM transition (see nested_svm_transition_tlb_flush()).

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.
