Subject: [PATCH v10 16/28] KVM: x86: Mark CR4.FRED as not reserved
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 14:36:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911213659.2025974-17-sohil.mehta@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911213659.2025974-1-sohil.mehta@intel.com>

From: "Xin Li (Intel)" <xin@zytor.com>

The CR4.FRED bit, i.e., CR4[32], is no longer a reserved bit when
guest cpu cap has FRED, i.e.,
  1) All of FRED KVM support is in place.
  2) Guest enumerates FRED.

Otherwise it is still a reserved bit.

v10:
 - Check CR4.FRED against IA-32e mode in kvm_set_cr4() instead of
   __kvm_is_valid_cr4(), so that KVM_SET_SREGS no longer rejects a CR4
   and EFER pair that are loaded together (e.g., when restoring a FRED
   guest)
