Chao Gao 11d984633f KVM: x86: Allocate/free user_return_msrs at kvm.ko (un)loading time
Move user_return_msrs allocation/free from vendor modules (kvm-intel.ko and
kvm-amd.ko) (un)loading time to kvm.ko's to make it less risky to access
user_return_msrs in kvm.ko. Tying the lifetime of user_return_msrs to
vendor modules makes every access to user_return_msrs prone to
use-after-free issues as vendor modules may be unloaded at any time.

Opportunistically turn the per-CPU variable into full structs, as there's
no practical difference between statically allocating the memory and
allocating it unconditionally during module_init().

Zero out kvm_nr_uret_msrs on vendor module exit to further minimize the
chances of consuming stale data, and WARN on vendor module load if KVM
thinks there are existing user-return MSRs.

Note!  The user-return MSRs also need to be "destroyed" if
ops->hardware_setup() fails, as both SVM and VMX expect common KVM to
clean up (because common code, not vendor code, is responsible for
kvm_nr_uret_msrs).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
