[PATCH RFC v1 00/10] KVM: nVMX: Use vmcs_config for setting up nested VMX MSRs

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

vmcs_config is a sanitized version of host VMX MSRs where some controls are
filtered out (e.g. when Enlightened VMCS is enabled, some know bugs are 
discovered, some inconsistencies in controls are detected,...) but
nested_vmx_setup_ctls_msrs() uses raw host MSRs instead. This may end up
in exposing undesired controls to L1. Switch to using vmcs_config instead.

RFC part: vmcs_config's sanitization now is a mix of "what can't be enabled"
and "what KVM doesn't want" and we need to separate these as for nested VMX
MSRs only the first category makes sense. This gives vmcs_config a slightly
different meaning "controls which can be (theoretically) used". An alternative
approach would be to store sanitized host MSRs values separately, sanitize
them and and use in nested_vmx_setup_ctls_msrs() but currently I don't see
any benefits. Comments welcome!

Very lightly tested with KVM selftests / kvm-unit-tests.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (10):
  KVM: VMX: Move CPU_BASED_CR8_{LOAD,STORE}_EXITING filtering out of
    setup_vmcs_config()
  KVM: VMX: Add missing CPU based VM execution controls to vmcs_config
  KVM: VMX: Move CPU_BASED_{CR3_LOAD,CR3_STORE,INVLPG}_EXITING filtering
    out of setup_vmcs_config()
  KVM: VMX: Add missing VMEXIT controls to vmcs_config
  KVM: VMX: Add missing VMENTRY controls to vmcs_config
  KVM: nVMX: Use sanitized allowed-1 bits for VMX control MSRs
  KVM: VMX: Store required-1 VMX controls in vmcs_config
  KVM: nVMX: Use sanitized required-1 bits for VMX control MSRs
  KVM: VMX: Cache MSR_IA32_VMX_MISC in vmcs_config
  KVM: nVMX: Use cached host MSR_IA32_VMX_MISC value for setting up
    nested MSR
