[PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: Expose speculation control feature to guests

From: KarimAllah Ahmed
Date: Sun Jan 28 2018 - 20:00:46 EST


Add direct access to speculation control MSRs for KVM guests. This allows the
guest to protect itself against Spectre V2 using IBRS+IBPB instead of a
retpoline+IBPB based approach.

It also exposes the ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR which is going to be used by future
Intel processors to indicate RDCL_NO and IBRS_ALL.

x86/kvm: Add IBPB support

x86: kvm: Update the reverse_cpuid list to include CPUID_7_EDX
x86: vmx: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL
