Don't update the LBR MSR intercept bitmaps if they're already up-to-date,
as unconditionally updating the intercepts forces KVM to recalculate the
MSR bitmaps for vmcb02 on every nested VMRUN. The redundant updates are
functionally okay; however, they neuter an optimization in Hyper-V
nested virtualization enlightenments and this manifests as a self-test
failure.
In particular, Hyper-V lets L1 mark "nested enlightenments" as clean, i.e.
tell KVM that no changes were made to the MSR bitmap since the last VMRUN.
The hyperv_svm_test KVM selftest intentionally changes the MSR bitmap
"without telling KVM about it" to verify that KVM honors the clean hint,
correctly fails because KVM notices the changed bitmap anyway:
==== Test Assertion Failure ====

vmcb->control.exit_code == SVM_EXIT_VMMCALL
Do *not* fix this by skipping svm_hv_vmcb_dirty_nested_enlightenments()
when svm_set_intercept_for_msr() performs a no-op change. changes to
the L0 MSR interception bitmap are only triggered by full CPUID updates
and MSR filter updates, both of which should be rare. Changing
svm_set_intercept_for_msr() risks hiding unintended pessimizations
like this one, and is actually more complex than this change.

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 reStructuredText 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.
