[PATCH v15 00/14] Introduce support for guest CET feature
From: Yang Weijiang
Date: Wed Feb 03 2021 - 06:22:53 EST
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) provides protection against
Return/Jump-Oriented Programming (ROP/JOP) attack. There're two CET
subfeatures: Shadow Stack (SHSTK) and Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT).
SHSTK is to prevent ROP and IBT is to prevent JOP.
Several parts in KVM have been updated to provide guest CET support, including:
CPUID/XSAVES settings, MSR passthrough, user-space MSR access interface,
vmentry/vmexit config, nested VM etc. These patches are dependent on CET
kernel patches for XSAVES support and CET definitions, e.g., MSR and related
feature flags.

Changes in v15:
- Changed patches per Paolo's review feedback on v14.
- Added a new patch for GUEST_SSP save/restore in guest SMM case.
- Fixed guest call-trace issue due to CET MSR interception.
- Removed unnecessary guest CET state cleanup in VMCS.
- Rebased patches to 5.11-rc6.
