[PATCH v1 2/6] KVM: x86: Virtualize CR4.LASS

From: Zeng Guang
Date: Thu Jun 01 2023 - 11:06:01 EST


Virtualize CR4.LASS[bit 27] under KVM control instead of being guest-owned
as CR4.LASS generally set once for each vCPU at boot time and won't be
toggled at runtime. Besides, only if VM has LASS capability enumerated with
CPUID.(EAX=07H.ECX=1):EAX.LASS[bit 6], KVM allows guest software to be able
to set CR4.LASS.

Updating cr4_fixed1 to set CR4.LASS bit in the emulated IA32_VMX_CR4_FIXED1
MSR for guests and allow guests to enable LASS in nested VMX operaion as well.

Notes: Setting CR4.LASS to 1 enable LASS in IA-32e mode. It doesn't take
effect in legacy mode even if CR4.LASS is set.
