[RFC PATCH 8/9] x86/kvm/vmx: Initialize SPEC_CTRL MASK for RRSBA

From: Zhang Chen
Date: Sat Dec 10 2022 - 11:20:10 EST


VMMs can address mitigations issues in migration pool by applying
the needed controls whenever the guest is operating on a newer
processor. If a guest is using retpoline to mitigate intra-mode BTI
in CPL0, the VMM can set RRSBA_DIS_S when the guest runs on hardware
which enumerates RRSBA.
