[PATCH v11 4/9] KVM: VMX: Check CET dependencies on CR settings

From: Yang Weijiang
Date: Thu Mar 26 2020 - 04:16:46 EST


CR4.CET is master control bit for CET function.
There're mutual constrains between CR0.WP and CR4.CET, so need
to check the dependent bit while changing the control registers.

Note:
1)The processor does not allow CR4.CET to be set if CR0.WP = 0,
similarly, it does not allow CR0.WP to be cleared while
CR4.CET = 1. In either case, KVM would inject #GP to guest.

2)SHSTK and IBT features share one control MSR:
MSR_IA32_{U,S}_CET, which means it's difficult to hide
one feature from another in the case of SHSTK != IBT,
after discussed in community, it's agreed to allow guest
control two features independently as it won't introduce
security hole.
