Subject[PATCH v6 5/5] KVM: SVM: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL
Date
[ Based on a patch from Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> ]

... basically doing exactly what we do for VMX:

- Passthrough SPEC_CTRL to guests (if enabled in guest CPUID)
- Save and restore SPEC_CTRL around VMExit and VMEntry only if the guest
actually used it.
