From e5a83419c957edff9290a7e09b951f44af7fa2e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KarimAllah Ahmed Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2018 22:59:45 +0100 Subject: KVM/VMX: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL (cherry picked from commit d28b387fb74da95d69d2615732f50cceb38e9a4d) [ Based on a patch from Ashok Raj ] Add direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL for guests. This is needed for guests that will only mitigate Spectre V2 through IBRS+IBPB and will not be using a retpoline+IBPB based approach. To avoid the overhead of saving and restoring the MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL for guests that do not actually use the MSR, only start saving and restoring when a non-zero is written to it. No attempt is made to handle STIBP here, intentionally. Filtering STIBP may be added in a future patch, which may require trapping all writes if we don't want to pass it through directly to the guest.
