Subject: [PATCH v6 1/8] KVM: VMX: Define CET VMCS fields and control bits

CET(Control-flow Enforcement Technology) is an upcoming Intel(R)
processor feature that blocks Return/Jump-Oriented Programming(ROP)
attacks. It provides the following capabilities to defend
against ROP/JOP style control-flow subversion attacks:

Shadow Stack (SHSTK):
  A second stack for program which is used exclusively for
  control transfer operations.

Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT):
  Code branching protection to defend against jump/call oriented
  programming.

Several new CET MSRs are defined in kernel to support CET:
  MSR_IA32_{U,S}_CET: Controls the CET settings for user
                      mode and suervisor mode respectively.

  MSR_IA32_PL{0,1,2,3}_SSP: Stores shadow stack pointers for
                            CPL-0,1,2,3 level respectively.

  MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB: Stores base address of shadow stack
                        pointer table.

Two XSAVES state bits are introduced for CET:
  IA32_XSS:[bit 11]: For saving/restoring user mode CET states
  IA32_XSS:[bit 12]: For saving/restoring supervisor mode CET states.

Six VMCS fields are introduced for CET:
  {HOST,GUEST}_S_CET: Stores CET settings for supervisor mode.
  {HOST,GUEST}_SSP: Stores shadow stack pointer for supervisor mode.
  {HOST,GUEST}_INTR_SSP_TABLE: Stores base address of shadow stack pointer
                               table.

If VM_EXIT_LOAD_HOST_CET_STATE = 1, the host's CET MSRs are restored
from below VMCS fields at VM-Exit:
  HOST_S_CET
  HOST_SSP
  HOST_INTR_SSP_TABLE

If VM_ENTRY_LOAD_GUEST_CET_STATE = 1, the guest's CET MSRs are loaded
from below VMCS fields at VM-Entry:
  GUEST_S_CET
  GUEST_SSP
  GUEST_INTR_SSP_TABLE
