When the TSC_AUX MSR is virtualized, the TSC_AUX value is swap type "B" within the VMSA. This means that the guest value is loaded on VMRUN and the host value is restored from the host save area on #VMEXIT. Since the value is restored on #VMEXIT, the KVM user return MSR support for TSC_AUX can be replaced by populating the host save area with the current host value of TSC_AUX. And, since TSC_AUX is not changed by Linux post-boot, the host save area can be set once in svm_hardware_enable(). This eliminates the two WRMSR instructions associated with the user return MSR support.

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.
