[RFC PATCH v2 03/11] KVM: x86: Advertise BHI_CTRL support

From: Chao Gao
Date: Fri Apr 14 2023 - 02:26:24 EST


From: Zhang Chen <chen.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>

Add 100% kvm-only feature for BHI_CTRL because the kernel doesn't use it
at all.

BHI_CTRL is enumerated by CPUID.7.2.EDX[4]. If supported, BHI_DIS_S (bit
10) of IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR can be used to enable BHI_DIS_S behavior.

Note that KVM does not intercept guests' IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR accesses
after a non-zero is written to the MSR. Therefore, guests can already
toggle the BHI_DIS_S bit if the host supports BHI_CTRL, and no extra
code is needed to allow guests to toggle the bit.
