[PATCH] KVM: x86: reinstate vendor-agnostic check on SPEC_CTRL cpuid bits

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Thu Dec 03 2020 - 10:17:04 EST


Until commit e7c587da1252 ("x86/speculation: Use synthetic bits for IBRS/IBPB/STIBP",
2018-05-17), KVM was testing both Intel and AMD CPUID bits before allowing the
guest to write MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL and MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD. Testing only Intel bits
on VMX processors, or only AMD bits on SVM processors, fails if the guests are
created with the "opposite" vendor as the host.

While at it, also tweak the host CPU check to use the vendor-agnostic feature bit
X86_FEATURE_IBPB, since we only care about the availability of the MSR on the host
here and not about specific CPUID bits.

Fixes: e7c587da1252 ("x86/speculation: Use synthetic bits for IBRS/IBPB/STIBP")
