Configure the list of user return MSRs that are actually supported at module init instead of reprobing the list of possible MSRs every time a vCPU is created. Curating the list on a per-vCPU basis is pointless; KVM is completely hosed if the set of supported MSRs changes after module init, or if the set of MSRs differs per physical PCU. The per-vCPU lists also increase complexity (see __vmx_find_uret_msr()) and creates corner cases that _should_ be impossible, but theoretically exist in KVM, e.g. advertising RDTSCP to userspace without actually being able to virtualize RDTSCP if probing MSR_TSC_AUX fails.

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.
