Subject[PATCH v5 0/5] KVM: Expose speculation control feature to guests
Date
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.

v5:
- svm: add PRED_CMD and SPEC_CTRL to direct_access_msrs list.
- vmx: check also for X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL for msr reads and writes.
- vmx: Use MSR_TYPE_W instead of MSR_TYPE_R for the nested IBPB MSR
- rewrite commit message for IBPB patch [2/5] (Ashok)

v4:
- Add IBRS passthrough for SVM (5/5).
- Handle nested guests properly.
- expose F(IBRS) in kvm_cpuid_8000_0008_ebx_x86_features
