Subject: [PATCH v12 18/24] KVM: VMX: Set host constant supervisor states to VMCS fields
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 19:55:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250812025606.74625-19-chao.gao@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250812025606.74625-1-chao.gao@intel.com>

From: Yang Weijiang <weijiang.yang@intel.com>

Save constant values to HOST_{S_CET,SSP,INTR_SSP_TABLE} field explicitly.
Kernel IBT is supported and the setting in MSR_IA32_S_CET is static after
post-boot(The exception is BIOS call case but vCPU thread never across it)
and KVM doesn't need to refresh HOST_S_CET field before every VM-Enter/
VM-Exit sequence.

Host supervisor shadow stack is not enabled now and SSP is not accessible
to kernel mode, thus it's safe to set host IA32_INT_SSP_TAB/SSP VMCS field
to 0s. When shadow stack is enabled for CPL3, SSP is reloaded from PL3_SSP
before it exits to userspace. Check SDM Vol 2A/B Chapter 3/4 for SYSCALL/
SYSRET/SYSENTER SYSEXIT/RDSSP/CALL etc.

Prevent KVM module loading if host supervisor shadow stack SHSTK_EN is set
in MSR_IA32_S_CET as KVM cannot co-exit with it correctly.
