[PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: SGX vs. XCR0 cleanups

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Apr 04 2023 - 20:59:21 EST


*** WARNING *** ABI breakage.

Stop adjusting the guest's CPUID info for the allowed XFRM (a.k.a. XCR0)
for SGX enclaves. Past me didn't understand the roles and responsibilities
between userspace and KVM with respect to CPUID leafs, i.e. I thought I was
being helpful by having KVM adjust the entries.

This is clearly an ABI breakage, but QEMU (tries to) do the right thing,
and AFAIK no other VMMs support SGX (yet), so I'm hoping we can excise the
ugly before userspace starts depending on the bad behavior.

Compile tested only (don't have an SGX system these days).

Note, QEMU commit 301e90675c ("target/i386: Enable support for XSAVES
based features") completely broke SGX by using allowed XSS instead of
XCR0, and no one has complained. That gives me hope that this one will
go through as well.

I belive the QEMU fix is below. I'll post a patch at some point unless
someone wants to do the dirty work and claim the patch as their own.
