[PATCH v3 04/57] KVM: x86: Explicitly do runtime CPUID updates "after" initial setup
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Nov 27 2024 - 20:35:41 EST
Explicitly perform runtime CPUID adjustments as part of the "after set
CPUID" flow to guard against bugs where KVM consumes stale vCPU/CPUID
state during kvm_update_cpuid_runtime(). E.g. see commit 4736d85f0d18
("KVM: x86: Use actual kvm_cpuid.base for clearing KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT").
Whacking each mole individually is not sustainable or robust, e.g. while
the aforemention commit fixed KVM's PV features, the same issue lurks for
Xen and Hyper-V features, Xen and Hyper-V simply don't have any runtime
features (though spoiler alert, neither should KVM).
Updating runtime features in the "full" path will also simplify adding a
snapshot of the guest's capabilities, i.e. of caching the intersection of
guest CPUID and kvm_cpu_caps (modulo a few edge cases).
