KVM/VMX: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL
commit d28b387fb74da95d69d2615732f50cceb38e9a4d upstream.
[ Based on a patch from Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> ]
Add direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL for guests. This is needed for
guests that will only mitigate Spectre V2 through IBRS+IBPB and will not
be using a retpoline+IBPB based approach.
To avoid the overhead of saving and restoring the MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL for
guests that do not actually use the MSR, only start saving and restoring
when a non-zero is written to it.
No attempt is made to handle STIBP here, intentionally. Filtering STIBP
may be added in a future patch, which may require trapping all writes
if we don't want to pass it through directly to the guest.
[dwmw2: Clean up CPUID bits, save/restore manually, handle reset]
