KVM: x86: Expose Zhaoxin RSA CPUID feature
Advertise the Zhaoxin big-number arithmetic engine to guests via
CPUID 0xC0000001 EDX bits 27 (RSA) and 28 (RSA_EN). The RSA feature
provides two unprivileged instructions for modular arithmetic on big
integers, documented in the Zhaoxin PadLock Instruction Reference,
chapter 4 ("Modular Multiplication and Exponentiation Engine"). Both
support operand sizes from 256 to 32768 bits (in 128-bit increments):
- REP XMODEXP (encoding F3 0F A6 F8, subsection 4.1) computes
A^B mod M
- REP MONTMUL2 (encoding F3 0F A6 F0, subsection 4.2) computes
A*B mod M
REP MONTMUL2 is the long-mode replacement of legacy REP MONTMUL, which
is restricted to compatibility and 32-bit protected modes. These
primitives accelerate RSA and related public-key operations.
Both instructions are unprivileged (no CPL restriction) and available
in all CPU modes, with no associated MSR control. The RSA and RSA_EN
bits are redundant by hardware design (set or cleared together) and
both serve purely as CPUID-level feature-presence reporting flags
requiring no KVM emulation. Both bits are advertised because different
software may probe either one when checking for RSA availability.
