Borislav Petkov e5a3331a2e x86/bugs: KVM: Add support for SRSO_MSR_FIX 
commit 8442df2b49 upstream.

Add support for

  CPUID Fn8000_0021_EAX[31] (SRSO_MSR_FIX). If this bit is 1, it
  indicates that software may use MSR BP_CFG[BpSpecReduce] to mitigate
  SRSO.

Enable BpSpecReduce to mitigate SRSO across guest/host boundaries.

Switch back to enabling the bit when virtualization is enabled and to
clear the bit when virtualization is disabled because using a MSR slot
would clear the bit when the guest is exited and any training the guest
has done, would potentially influence the host kernel when execution
enters the kernel and hasn't VMRUN the guest yet.

More detail on the public thread in Link below.

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.
