Re: [PATCH 10/19] kvm: x86: Emulate WRMSR of guest IA32_XFD

First, the MSR should be added to msrs_to_save_all and kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_XFD) should be checked in kvm_init_msr_list.

It seems that RDMSR support is missing, too.

More important, please include:

- documentation for the new KVM_EXIT_* value

- a selftest that explains how userspace should react to it.

This is a strong requirement for any new API (the first has been for years; but the latter is also almost always respected these days). This series should not have been submitted without documentation.

Also:

This should allow msr->host_initiated always (even if XFD is not part of CPUID). However, if XFD is nonzero and kvm_check_guest_realloc_fpstate returns true, then it should return 1.

The selftest should also cover using KVM_GET_MSR/KVM_SET_MSR.

+ /* Setting unsupported bits causes #GP */
+ if (~XFEATURE_MASK_USER_DYNAMIC & data) {
+ kvm_inject_gp(vcpu, 0);
+ break;
+ }

This should check

if (data & ~(XFEATURE_MASK_USER_DYNAMIC &
vcpu->arch.guest_supported_xcr0))

instead.
