[PATCH 4/5] KVM: nVMX: Save BNDCFGS to vmcs12 iff relevant controls are exposed to L1

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Jun 14 2022 - 17:59:07 EST


Save BNDCFGS to vmcs12 (from vmcs02) if and only if at least of one of
the load-on-entry or clear-on-exit fields for BNDCFGS is enumerated as an
allowed-1 bit in vmcs12. Skipping the field avoids an unnecessary VMREAD
when MPX is supported but not exposed to L1.

Per Intel's SDM:

If the processor supports either the 1-setting of the "load IA32_BNDCFGS"
VM-entry control or that of the "clear IA32_BNDCFGS" VM-exit control, the
contents of the IA32_BNDCFGS MSR are saved into the corresponding field.
