[PATCH v2 0/2] Avoid cpuid faulting leaking and one optimization

From: Xiaoyao Li
Date: Mon Mar 18 2019 - 07:43:46 EST


This series avoid cpuid faulting of host leakding to guest, which may
potentially cause guest boot failure, and use hardware cpuid faulting
to remove emulation overhead.

Patch 1 avoids cpuid faulting leaking to guest through clearing cpuid faulting
bit before enter guest and restoring host's cpuid faulting bit when switch
to host.

Patch 2 enables hardware cpuid faulting for guest if it exists, to avoid
the emulation overhead.

==changelog==
v2:
- move the save/restore of cpuid faulting bit to
vmx_prepare_swich_to_guest/vmx_prepare_swich_to_host to avoid every
vmentry RDMSR, based on Paolo's comment.

==previous version==
