Subject: [PATCH v15 15/41] KVM: x86: Save and reload SSP to/from SMRAM

From: Yang Weijiang <weijiang.yang@...el.com>

Save CET SSP to SMRAM on SMI and reload it on RSM. KVM emulates HW arch
behavior when guest enters/leaves SMM mode,i.e., save registers to SMRAM
at the entry of SMM and reload them at the exit to SMM. Per SDM, SSP is
one of such registers on 64-bit Arch, and add the support for SSP.
