Subject: [PATCH v8 18/26] KVM: VMX: Introduce CET VMCS fields and control bits

Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) is a kind of CPU feature used
to prevent Return/CALL/Jump-Oriented Programming (ROP/COP/JOP) attacks.
It provides two sub-features(SHSTK,IBT) to defend against ROP/COP/JOP
style control-flow subversion attacks.

Shadow Stack (SHSTK):
  A shadow stack is a second stack used exclusively for control transfer
  operations. The shadow stack is separate from the data/normal stack and
  can be enabled individually in user and kernel mode. When shadow stack
  is enabled, CALL pushes the return address on both the data and shadow
  stack. RET pops the return address from both stacks and compares them.
  If the return addresses from the two stacks do not match, the processor
  generates a #CP.

Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT):
  IBT introduces instruction(ENDBRANCH)to mark valid target addresses of
  indirect branches (CALL, JMP etc...). If an indirect branch is executed
  and the next instruction is _not_ an ENDBRANCH, the processor generates
  a #CP. These instruction behaves as a NOP on platforms that have no CET.

Several new CET MSRs are defined to support CET:
  MSR_IA32_{U,S}_CET: CET settings for {user,supervisor} CET respectively.

  MSR_IA32_PL{0,1,2,3}_SSP: SHSTK pointer linear address for CPL{0,1,2,3}.

  MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB: Linear address of SHSTK pointer table, whose entry
			is indexed by IST of interrupt gate desc.

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

Six VMCS fields are introduced for CET:
  {HOST,GUEST}_S_CET: Stores CET settings for kernel mode.
  {HOST,GUEST}_SSP: Stores current active SSP.
  {HOST,GUEST}_INTR_SSP_TABLE: Stores current active MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB.

On Intel platforms, two additional bits are defined in VM_EXIT and VM_ENTRY
control fields:
If VM_EXIT_LOAD_CET_STATE = 1, host CET states are loaded from following
VMCS fields at VM-Exit:
  HOST_S_CET
  HOST_SSP
  HOST_INTR_SSP_TABLE

If VM_ENTRY_LOAD_CET_STATE = 1, guest CET states are loaded from following
VMCS fields at VM-Entry:
  GUEST_S_CET
  GUEST_SSP
  GUEST_INTR_SSP_TABLE
