Subject: Re: [PATCH v7 3/8] KVM: X86: Expose IA32_PKRS MSR

Nit, something like:
KVM: X86: Virtualize and pass-through IA32_PKRS MSR when supported
because "expose" doesn't precisely cover the pass-through behavior

Eh, I don't think this comment adds anything. And practically speaking, whether
or not X86_FEATURE_PKS is reported by kvm_cpu_cap_has() and/or guest_cpuid_has()
is irrelevant. If KVM is loading PKRS on exit, then the VMCS needs to hold an
up-to-date value. E.g. if for some reason KVM enables the control even if PKS
isn't exposed to the guest (see below), this code still needs to refresh the value.

No need for an intermediate host_pkrs. I.e. this can simply be:
if (vm_exit_controls_get(vmx) & VM_EXIT_LOAD_IA32_PKRS)
vmx_set_host_pkrs(host_state, get_current_pkrs());

Nit, please align the lines that are inside a pair of parantheses, i.e.
if (!kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_PKS) ||
(!msr_info->host_initiated &&
!guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_PKS)))

A comment on the caching patch, please use kvm_pkrs_read() to follow the GPR, RIP,
PDPTR, etc... terminology (CR0/3/4 got grandfathered in).

Nit, please move this to after the capability checks. Does not affect functionality
at all, but logically it doesn't make sense to check for a valid value of a register
that doesn't exist.

The caching patch should add kvm_write_pkrs(). And in there, I think I'd vote for
a WARN_ON_ONCE() that the incoming value doesn't set bits 63:32. It's redundant
with kvm_pkrs_valid()

Ugh, toggling the entry/exit controls here won't do the correct thing if L2 is
active. The MSR intercept logic works because it always operates on vmcs01's bitmap.
Let's keep this as simple as possible and set the controls if they're supported.
KVM will waste a few cycles on entry/exit if PKS is supported in the host but not
exposed to the guest, but that's not the end of the world. If we want to optimize
that, then we can do that in the future and in a more generic way.
So this becomes:
if (kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_PKS))
vmx_set_intercept_for_msr(vcpu, MSR_IA32_PKRS, MSR_TYPE_RW,
!guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_PKS));
And please hoist that up to be next to the handling of X86_FEATURE_XFD to try and
bunch together code that does similar things.
The last edge case to deal with is if only one of the controls is supported, e.g. if
an L0 hypervisor is being evil. Big surprise, BNDCFGS doesn't get this right and
needs a bug fix patch, e.g. it could retain the guest's value after exit, or host's
value after entry. It's a silly case because it basically requires broken host
"hardware", but it'd be nice to get it right in KVM. And that'd also be a good
opportunity to handle all of the pairs, i.e. clear the bits during setup_vmcs_config()
instead of checking both the entry and exit flags in cpu_has_load_*().
So for this series, optimistically assume my idea will pan out and a
adjust_vm_entry_exit_pair() helper will exit by the time this is fully baked.

Please put this with the other !init_event stuff, e.g. look for MSR_IA32_XSS.
