Add support for Secure TSC, allowing userspace to configure the Secure TSC feature for SNP guests. Use the SNP specification's desired TSC frequency parameter during the SNP_LAUNCH_START command to set the mean TSC frequency in KHz for Secure TSC enabled guests. Always use kvm->arch.arch.default_tsc_khz as the TSC frequency that is passed to SNP guests in the SNP_LAUNCH_START command. The default value is the host TSC frequency. The userspace can optionally change the TSC frequency via the KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ ioctl before calling the SNP_LAUNCH_START ioctl. Introduce the read-only MSR GUEST_TSC_FREQ (0xc0010134) that returns guest's effective frequency in MHZ when Secure TSC is enabled for SNP guests. Disable interception of this MSR when Secure TSC is enabled. Note that GUEST_TSC_FREQ MSR is accessible only to the guest and not from the hypervisor context.

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.
