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 MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR
  perf/x86: add a function to get the lbr stack
  KVM/vmx: enable lbr for the guest
