Maxim Levitsky df4071e609 KVM: nVMX: Check vmcs12->guest_ia32_debugctl on nested VM-Enter 
[ Upstream commit 095686e6fc ]

Add a consistency check for L2's guest_ia32_debugctl, as KVM only supports
a subset of hardware functionality, i.e. KVM can't rely on hardware to
detect illegal/unsupported values.  Failure to check the vmcs12 value
would allow the guest to load any harware-supported value while running L2.

Take care to exempt BTF and LBR from the validity check in order to match
KVM's behavior for writes via WRMSR, but without clobbering vmcs12.  Even
if VM_EXIT_SAVE_DEBUG_CONTROLS is set in vmcs12, L1 can reasonably expect
that vmcs12->guest_ia32_debugctl will not be modified if writes to the MSR
are being intercepted.

Arguably, KVM _should_ update vmcs12 if VM_EXIT_SAVE_DEBUG_CONTROLS is set
*and* writes to MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR are not being intercepted by L1, but
that would incur non-trivial complexity and wouldn't change the fact that
KVM's handling of DEBUGCTL is blatantly broken.  I.e. the extra complexity
is not worth carrying.

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 Restructured Text 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.
