Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: relax conditions for allowing MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL accesses
Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2020 16:13:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1580915628-42930-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
Userspace that does not know about the AMD_IBRS bit might still
allow the guest to protect itself with MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL using
the Intel SPEC_CTRL bit. However, svm.c disallows this and will
cause a #GP in the guest when writing to the MSR. Fix this by
loosening the test and allowing the Intel CPUID bit, and in fact
allow the AMD_STIBP bit as well since it allows writing to
MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL too.
