Subject: [PATCH 3/7] kvm: vmx: pass MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL and MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD down to the guest
Date: Mon,  8 Jan 2018 19:08:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1515434925-10250-4-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1515434925-10250-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com>

Direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL and MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD is important
for performance.  Allow load/store of MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL, restore guest
IBRS on VM entry and set it to 0 on VM exit (because Linux does not use
it yet).
