Subject[PATCH v4 17/17] kvm: vmx: Emulate TEST_CTL MSR
Date
From: Xiaoyao Li <xiaoyao.li@linux.intel.com>

A control bit (bit 29) in TEST_CTL MSR 0x33 will be introduced in
future x86 processors. When bit 29 is set, the processor causes #AC
exception for split locked accesses at all CPL.

Please check the latest Intel Software Developer's Manual
for more detailed information on the MSR and the split lock bit.

1. Since the kernel chooses to enable AC split lock by default, which
means if we don't emulate TEST_CTL MSR for guest, guest will run with
this feature enable while does not known it. Thus existing guests with
buggy firmware (like OVMF) and old kernels having the cross cache line
issues will fail the boot due to #AC.

So we should emulate TEST_CTL MSR, and set it zero to disable AC split
lock by default. Whether and when to enable it is left to guest firmware
and guest kernel.

2. Host and guest can enable AC split lock independently, so using
msr autoload to switch it during VM entry/exit.
