The design of ACRN CPU performance management is to let hardware
do the autonomous frequency selection(or set to a fixed value),
and remove guest's ability to control CPU frequency.
This patch is to remove guest's ability to control CPU frequency by
removing the guests' HWP/EIST CPUIDs and blocking the related MSR
accesses. Including:
- Remove CPUID.06H:EAX[7..11] (HWP)
- Remove CPUID.01H:ECX[7] (EIST)
- Inject #GP(0) upon accesses to MSR_IA32_PM_ENABLE,
MSR_IA32_HWP_CAPABILITIES, MSR_IA32_HWP_REQUEST,
MSR_IA32_HWP_STATUS, MSR_IA32_HWP_INTERRUPT,
MSR_IA32_HWP_REQUEST_PKG
- Emulate MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL. Value written to MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
is just stored for reading. This is like how the native
environment would behavior when EIST is disabled from BIOS.
- Emulate MSR_IA32_PERF_STATUS by filling it with base frequency
state. This is consistent with Windows, which displays current
frequency as base frequency when running in VM.
- Hide the IA32_MISC_ENABLE bit 16 (EIST enable) from guests.
This bit is dependent to CPUID.01H:ECX[7] according to SDM.
- Remove CPID.06H:ECX[0] (hardware coordination feedback)
- Inject #GP(0) upon accesses to IA32_MPERF, IA32_APERF
Also DM do not need to generate _PSS/_PPC for post-launched VMs
anymore. This is done by letting hypercall HC_PM_GET_CPU_STATE sub
command ACRN_PMCMD_GET_PX_CNT and ACRN_PMCMD_GET_PX_DATA return (-1).

Modified the copyright year range in code, and corrected "int32_tel"
into "Intel" in two "hypervisor/include/debug/profiling.h" and
"hypervisor/include/debug/profiling_internal.h".

Many of the license and Intel copyright headers include the "All rights
reserved" string. It is not relevant in the context of the BSD-3-Clause
license that the code is released under. This patch removes those strings
throughout the code (hypervisor, devicemodel and misc).

Instead of "#include <x86/foo.h>", use "#include <asm/foo.h>".
In other words, we are adopting the same practice in Linux kernel.
