[PATCH v2 0/7] VMX: nVMX: VMX control MSR fixes

[Oliver Upton <oupton@google.com>]

There are a few bits in the VMX entry/exit control MSRs where KVM
intervenes. The "load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL" and "{load,clear}
IA32_BNDCFGS" VMX entry/exit control bits are under KVM control and
conditionally exposed based on the guest CPUID. If the guest CPUID
provides a supporting vPMU or MPX, the respective VMX control bits are
enabled.

These rules have not been upheld in all cases, though. KVM will only
apply its updates to the MSRs when the guest CPUID is set. If an
unsuspecting VMM writes to these VMX control MSRs after the CPUID has
been set, KVM fails to configure the appropriate bits. There does not
exist any ordering requirements between setting CPUID and writing to an
MSR.

[Patch 1-2]
Fix the immediate issue by hooking writes to the VMX control MSRs. If
userspace writes to one of the affected MSRs, reapply KVMs tweaks to
these registers. Note that these patches employ the minimal change
required to fix the issue, in case they are worthy of a backport.

[Patch 3-4]
Of course, it is not ideal to have KVM fiddling with the guest's MSRs in
this way. Add a quirk allowing sane VMMs to take complete ownership of
these VMX control bits.

[Patch 5-6]
Add tests to verify correct behavior for these bits with the quirk
enabled (KVM control) and quirk disabled (userspace control).

Finally, patch 7 is a nit cleanup that I noticed while doing the
renovations above.

This series applies cleanly to 5.17-rc2. Tested on a Skylake host.
