[PATCH] KVM: VMX: Add array_index_nospec() to evmcs_field_offset()
From: Amirmohammad Eftekhar

evmcs_field_offset() bounds-checks the guest-supplied field index against
nr_evmcs_1_fields and then indexes vmcs_field_to_evmcs_1[] with it, but,
unlike its vmcs12 counterpart get_vmcs12_field_offset(), it does not clamp
the index with array_index_nospec() after the check. The field index is
derived from a guest-supplied VMCS field encoding on the enlightened
VMREAD/VMWRITE path, so the array access can be performed speculatively
past the bounds check (Spectre v1), disclosing memory adjacent to
vmcs_field_to_evmcs_1[].
Clamp the index with array_index_nospec() immediately after the bounds
check, mirroring get_vmcs12_field_offset().
