[PATCH v10 4/9] KVM: x86: Virtualize CR4.LAM_SUP

From: Binbin Wu
Date: Wed Jul 19 2023 - 10:42:01 EST


From: Robert Hoo <robert.hu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add support to allow guests to set the new CR4 control bit for guests to enable
the new Intel CPU feature Linear Address Masking (LAM) on supervisor pointers.

LAM modifies the checking that is applied to 64-bit linear addresses, allowing
software to use of the untranslated address bits for metadata and masks the
metadata bits before using them as linear addresses to access memory. LAM uses
CR4.LAM_SUP (bit 28) to configure LAM for supervisor pointers. LAM also changes
VMENTER to allow the bit to be set in VMCS's HOST_CR4 and GUEST_CR4 for
virtualization. Note CR4.LAM_SUP is allowed to be set even not in 64-bit mode,
but it will not take effect since LAM only applies to 64-bit linear addresses.

Move CR4.LAM_SUP out of CR4_RESERVED_BITS and its reservation depends on vcpu
supporting LAM feature or not. Leave the bit intercepted to prevent guest from
setting CR4.LAM_SUP bit if LAM is not exposed to guest as well as to avoid vmread
every time when KVM fetches its value, with the expectation that guest won't
toggle the bit frequently.

Set CR4.LAM_SUP bit in the emulated IA32_VMX_CR4_FIXED1 MSR for guests to allow
guests to enable LAM for supervisor pointers in nested VMX operation.

Hardware is not required to do TLB flush when CR4.LAM_SUP toggled, KVM doesn't
need to emulate TLB flush based on it.
There's no other features/vmx_exec_controls connection, no other code needed in
{kvm,vmx}_set_cr4().
