[RFC PATCH v2 06/11] KVM: x86: Advertise ARCH_CAP_VIRTUAL_ENUM support

From: Chao Gao
Date: Fri Apr 14 2023 - 02:29:10 EST


From: Zhang Chen <chen.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>

Bit 63 of IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR indicates availablility of the
VIRTUAL_ENUMERATION_MSR (index 0x50000000) that enumerates features like
e.g., mitigation enumeration which is used for guest to hint VMMs the
software mitigations in use.

Advertise ARCH_CAP_VIRTUAL_ENUM support for VMX and emulate read/write
of the VIRTUAL_ENUMERATION_MSR. Now VIRTUAL_ENUMERATION_MSR is always 0.
