VMX's virtualization of SGX adds a lovely dependency on the guest's
supported xcr0, which is calculated in kvm_update_cpuid(). VMX must
toggled its interception of SGX instructions based on the supported
xcr0, i.e. kvm_x86_ops->cpuid_update() is certainly the correct
location for the dependent code.
kvm_update_cpuid() was originally added by commit 2acf923e38fb ("KVM:
VMX: Enable XSAVE/XRSTOR for guest"). There is no indication that its
placement after kvm_x86_ops->cpuid_update() was anything more than a
"new function at the end" decision.
Inspection of the current code reveals no dependency on kvm_x86_ops's
cpuid_update() in kvm_update_cpuid() or any of its helpers.
- SVM's sole update is to conditionally clear X86_FEATURE_X2APIC.
X86_FEATURE_X2APIC is only consumed by kvm_apic_set_state(), which
is already called immediately prior to kvm_x86_ops->cpuid_update().
- VMX updates only nested VMX MSRs, allowed FEATURE_CONTROL bits,
and VMCS fields, e.g. secondary execution controls, none of which
should bleed back into kvm_update_cpuid() barring an egregious
dependency bug somewhere else.
