Add direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL for guests. This is needed for
guests that will only mitigate Spectre V2 through IBRS+IBPB and will not

To avoid the overhead of atomically saving and restoring the
MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL for guests that do not actually use the MSR, only
add_atomic_switch_msr when a non-zero is written to it.

You are not storing the guest's MSR value on though vmexit, aren't you?

I originally thought that atomic_switch was also saving the guest MSR on VM-exit. Now I know it is not.

Also, there's an obvious typo here:

+               add_atomic_switch_msr(vmx, MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL, msr_info->data, 
0);
+
+               msr_bitmap = vmx->vmcs01.msr_bitmap;
+               vmx_disable_intercept_for_msr(msr_bitmap, MSR_FS_BASE, 
MSR_TYPE_RW);
+

oops! copy & paste error :)


Finally, apparently add_atomic_switch_msr is slower than just rdmsr/wrmsr
on vmexit.  Can you reuse the patches I had posted mid January instead?  They
are also assuming no IBRS usage on the host, so the changes shouldn't be large,
and limited mostly to using actual X86_FEATURE_* bits instead of cpuid_count().

They lack the code to only read/write SPEC_CTRL if the direct access is enabled,
but that's small too...  Enabling the direct access on the first write, as in
this patches, is okay.

Thanks,

Paolo

v2:
- remove 'host_spec_ctrl' in favor of only a comment (dwmw@).
- special case writing '0' in SPEC_CTRL to avoid confusing live-migration
   when the instance never used the MSR (dwmw@).
- depend on X86_FEATURE_IBRS instead of X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL (dwmw@).
- add MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL to the list of MSRs to save (dropped it by accident).
