Revert back to clearing VM_{ENTRY,EXIT}_LOAD_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in KVM's
golden VMCS config, as applying the workaround during vCPU creation is
pointless and broken. KVM *unconditionally* clears the controls in the
values returned by vmx_vmentry_ctrl() and vmx_vmexit_ctrl(), as KVM loads
PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL if and only if its necessary to do so. E.g. if KVM wants
to run the guest with the same PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL as the host, then there's
no need to re-load the MSR on entry and exit.
Even worse, the buggy commit failed to apply the erratum where it's
actually needed, add_atomic_switch_msr(). As a result, KVM completely
ignores the erratum for all intents and purposes, i.e. uses the flawed
VMCS controls to load PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL.
To top things off, the patch was intended to be dropped, as the premise
of an L1 VMM being able to pivot on FMS is flawed, and KVM can (and now
does) fully emulate the controls in software. Simply revert the commit,
as all upstream supported kernels that have the buggy commit should also
have commit

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.
