Subject: [PATCH 3.16 133/245] kvm: x86: Host feature SSBD doesn't imply
 guest feature SPEC_CTRL_SSBD

3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@...gle.com>

commit 396d2e878f92ec108e4293f1c77ea3bc90b414ff upstream.

The host reports support for the synthetic feature X86_FEATURE_SSBD
when any of the three following hardware features are set:
  CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX.SSBD[bit 31]
  CPUID.80000008H:EBX.AMD_SSBD[bit 24]
  CPUID.80000008H:EBX.VIRT_SSBD[bit 25]

Either of the first two hardware features implies the existence of the
IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR, but CPUID.80000008H:EBX.VIRT_SSBD[bit 25] does
not. Therefore, CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX.SSBD[bit 31] should only be
set in the guest if CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX.SSBD[bit 31] or
CPUID.80000008H:EBX.AMD_SSBD[bit 24] is set on the host.
