Set CPUID feature bits so that CET features are available in guest CPUID.
Add CR4.CET bit support in order to allow guest set CET master control
bit.

Disable KVM CET feature if unrestricted_guest is unsupported/disabled as
KVM does not support emulating CET.

The CET load-bits in VM_ENTRY/VM_EXIT control fields should be set to make
guest CET xstates isolated from host's.

On platforms with VMX_BASIC[bit56] == 0, inject #CP at VMX entry with error
code will fail, and if VMX_BASIC[bit56] == 1, #CP injection with or without
error code is allowed. Disable CET feature bits if the MSR bit is cleared
so that nested VMM can inject #CP if and only if VMX_BASIC[bit56] == 1.

Don't expose CET feature if either of {U,S}_CET xstate bits is cleared
in host XSS or if XSAVES isn't supported.

CET MSR contents after reset, power-up and INIT are set to 0s, clears the
guest fpstate fields so that the guest MSRs are reset to 0s after the events.

IBT has nothing to do with SSP. why bother to do this?

The intent is to prevent userspace from launching an x32 guest with CET bits
advertised in CPUIDs as CET won't be supported for x32 guest.

This can be done in a separate patch.

This can be put in a separate patch but IMHO it's still related to CET enabling
setup, so put it in this patch is somewhat reasonable :-)


And we don't know whether IBT is cleared due to ibt=off. It could be due to
lack of IBT on some CPUs; advertising IBT in this case is incorrect.

cpuid_edx(7) returns bootup CPUID available on platform, if it's there KVM
can enable the support. Currently KVM checks the minimum correlation with
host CET enabling status before exposes the features to guest. Unless there're
some HW bugs or the xsave dependency is broken, it exposes the features to
guest if platform can support them.

At least this can be merged with the first if-statement.

how about:
if (kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_SHSTK)) {
vmcs_writel(GUEST_SSP, 0);
vmcs_writel(GUEST_S_CET, 0);
vmcs_writel(GUEST_INTR_SSP_TABLE, 0);

It looks better, I'll apply it later. Thanks!

Can you add a comment here? This way, readers won't need to dig through git
history to understand the reason.

OK, I've put some explanation in commit log, let me move them here.

I am not sure why this is necessary. Could you please explain?

It's necessary to put the check here as it guarantees when guest CET is available
a) the critical host xsave dependency is there, b) guest can play with CET in user
and supervisor mode at the same time.
