[PATCH v4 4/5] KVM: VMX: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL
From: KarimAllah Ahmed
Date: Wed Jan 31 2018 - 08:11:24 EST
[ Based on a patch from Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@xxxxxxxxx> ]
Add direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL for guests. This is needed for
guests that will only mitigate Spectre V2 through IBRS+IBPB and will not
be using a retpoline+IBPB based approach.
To avoid the overhead of atomically saving and restoring the
MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL for guests that do not actually use the MSR, only
add_atomic_switch_msr when a non-zero is written to it.
No attempt is made to handle STIBP here, intentionally. Filtering STIBP
may be added in a future patch, which may require trapping all writes
if we don't want to pass it through directly to the guest.

v4:
- Add IBRS to kvm_cpuid_8000_0008_ebx_x86_features
- Handling nested guests
v3:
- Save/restore manually
- Fix CPUID handling
- Fix a copy & paste error in the name of SPEC_CTRL MSR in
disable_intercept.
- support !cpu_has_vmx_msr_bitmap()
v2:
- remove 'host_spec_ctrl' in favor of only a comment (dwmw@).
- special case writing '0' in SPEC_CTRL to avoid confusing live-migration
when the instance never used the MSR (dwmw@).
- depend on X86_FEATURE_IBRS instead of X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL (dwmw@).
- add MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL to the list of MSRs to save (dropped it by accident).
