Reinette Chatre 6b878cbb87 KVM: selftests: Add guest udelay() utility for x86
Add udelay() for x86 tests to allow busy waiting in the guest for a
specific duration, and to match ARM and RISC-V's udelay() in the hopes
of eventually making udelay() available on all architectures.

Get the guest's TSC frequency using KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ and expose it to all
VMs via a new global, guest_tsc_khz.  Assert that KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ returns
a valid frequency, instead of simply skipping tests, which would require
detecting which tests actually need/want udelay().  KVM hasn't returned an
error for KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ since commit cc578287e3 ("KVM: Infrastructure
for software and hardware based TSC rate scaling"), which predates KVM
selftests by 6+ years (KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ itself predates KVM selftest by 7+
years).

Note, if the GUEST_ASSERT() in udelay() somehow fires and the test doesn't
check for guest asserts, then the test will fail with a very cryptic
message.  But fixing that, e.g. by automatically handling guest asserts,
is a much larger task, and practically speaking the odds of a test afoul
of this wart are infinitesimally small.

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.
