[v3,1/2] x86/tsx: Add feature bit for TSX control MSR support
Commit Message
Support for TSX control MSR is enumerated in MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES.
This is different from how other CPU features are enumerated i.e. via
CPUID. Currently a call to tsx_ctrl_is_supported() is required for
enumerating the feature. In the absence of feature bit for TSX control,
any code that relies on checking feature bits directly will not work.
In preparation for adding a feature bit check in MSR save/restore during
suspend/resume, set a new feature bit X86_FEATURE_TSX_CTRL when
MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL is present. Also make tsx_ctrl_is_supported() use the
new feature bit to avoid any overhead of reading the MSR.
