[PATCH 9/9] KVM/SVM: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL

From: David Woodhouse
Date: Tue Feb 06 2018 - 12:30:55 EST


From: KarimAllah Ahmed <karahmed@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Based on a patch from Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> ]

... 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.
