[PATCH 2/6] x86/fpu/xstate: Add CET supervisor mode state support

From: Yang Weijiang
Date: Fri May 31 2024 - 05:04:58 EST


Add supervisor mode state support within FPU xstate management framework.
Although supervisor shadow stack is not enabled/used today in kernel,KVM
requires the support because when KVM advertises shadow stack feature to
guest, architecturally it claims the support for both user and supervisor
modes for guest OSes(Linux or non-Linux).

CET supervisor states not only includes PL{0,1,2}_SSP but also IA32_S_CET
MSR, but the latter is not xsave-managed. In virtualization world, guest
IA32_S_CET is saved/stored into/from VM control structure. With supervisor
xstate support, guest supervisor mode shadow stack state can be properly
saved/restored when 1) guest/host FPU context is swapped 2) vCPU
thread is sched out/in.

The alternative is to enable it in KVM domain, but KVM maintainers NAKed
the solution. The external discussion can be found at [*], it ended up
with adding the support in kernel instead of KVM domain.

Note, in KVM case, guest CET supervisor state i.e., IA32_PL{0,1,2}_MSRs,
are preserved after VM-Exit until host/guest fpstates are swapped, but
since host supervisor shadow stack is disabled, the preserved MSRs won't
hurt host.
