Subject: [PATCH v6 0/5] KVM: Expose speculation control feature to guests

Add direct access to speculation control MSRs for KVM guests. This allows the
guest to protect itself against Spectre V2 using IBRS+IBPB instead of a
retpoline+IBPB based approach.

It also exposes the ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR which is used by Intel processors to
indicate RDCL_NO and IBRS_ALL.

Keep in mind that the SVM part of the patch is unchanged this time. Mostly to
get feedback/confirmation about the nested handling for VMX first, once this is
done I will update SVM as well.

v6:
- Do not penalize (save/restore IBRS) all L2 guests when anyone of them starts
  using the SPEC_CTRL.

v5:
- svm: add PRED_CMD and SPEC_CTRL to direct_access_msrs list.
- vmx: check also for X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL for msr reads and writes.
- vmx: Use MSR_TYPE_W instead of MSR_TYPE_R for the nested IBPB MSR
- rewrite commit message for IBPB patch [2/5] (Ashok)

v4:
- Add IBRS passthrough for SVM (5/5).
- Handle nested guests properly.
- expose F(IBRS) in kvm_cpuid_8000_0008_ebx_x86_features

Ashok Raj (1):
  KVM: x86: Add IBPB support

KarimAllah Ahmed (4):
  KVM: x86: Update the reverse_cpuid list to include CPUID_7_EDX
  KVM: VMX: Emulate MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES
  KVM: VMX: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL
  KVM: SVM: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL
