[PATCH 7/8] x86/svm: Set IBPB when running a different VCPU

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Tue Jan 09 2018 - 07:04:55 EST


From: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@xxxxxxx>

Set IBPB (Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier) when the current CPU is
going to run a VCPU different from what was previously run. Nested
virtualization uses the same VMCB for the second level guest, but the
L1 hypervisor should be using IBRS to protect itself.
