[PATCH 5.10 120/130] KVM: VMX: Prevent guest RSB poisoning attacks with eIBRS

Greg Kroah-Hartman
2022-07-12T18:56:07Z

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

commit fc02735b14fff8c6678b521d324ade27b1a3d4cf upstream.

On eIBRS systems, the returns in the vmexit return path from
__vmx_vcpu_run() to vmx_vcpu_run() are exposed to RSB poisoning attacks.

Fix that by moving the post-vmexit spec_ctrl handling to immediately
after the vmexit.
