Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Ensure SPEC_CTRL[63:32] is context switched between guest and host
Date: Wed,  5 Nov 2025 17:13:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251106011330.75571-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)

From: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com>

SPEC_CTRL is an MSR, i.e. a 64-bit value, but the VMRUN assembly code
assumes bits 63:32 are always zero.  The bug is _currently_ benign because
neither KVM nor the kernel support setting any of bits 63:32, but it's
still a bug that needs to be fixed.
