[PATCH v2 1/2] kvm/vmx: avoid CPUID faulting leaking to guest

[Xiaoyao Li <xiaoyao.li@linux.intel.com>]

cpuid faulting is a feature about CPUID instruction. When cpuif faulting
is enabled, all execution of the CPUID instruction outside system-management
mode (SMM) cause a general-protection (#GP) if the CPL > 0.

About this feature, detailed information can be found at
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/application-notes/virtualization-technology-flexmigration-application-note.pdf

Current KVM provides software emulation of this feature for guest.
However, because cpuid faulting takes higher priority over CPUID vm exit (Intel
SDM vol3.25.1.1), there is a risk of leaking cpuid faulting to guest when host
enables it. If host enables cpuid faulting by setting the bit 0 of
MSR_MISC_FEATURES_ENABLES, it will pass to guest since there is no handling of
MSR_MISC_FEATURES_ENABLES yet. As a result, when guest calls CPUID instruction
in CPL > 0, it will generate a #GP instead of CPUID vm eixt.

This issue will cause guest boot failure when guest uses *modprobe*
to load modules. *modprobe* calls CPUID instruction, thus causing #GP in
guest. Since there is no handling of cpuid faulting in #GP handler, guest
fails boot.

To fix this issue, we should switch cpuid faulting bit between host and guest.
Since MSR_MISC_FEATURES_ENABLES is intel-specific, this patch implement the
switching only in vmx. It clears the cpuid faulting bit and save host's
value before switching to guest, and restores the cpuid faulting settings of
host before switching to host.

Because kvm provides the software emulation of cpuid faulting, we can
just clear the cpuid faulting bit in hardware MSR when switching to
guest.

Changes in 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.
