Subject: [PULL 10/17] target/i386/kvm: Fix disabling MPX on "-cpu host" with MPX-capable host
Date: Wed, 25 May 2022 21:28:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220525192852.301633-11-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220525192852.301633-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>

From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <maciej.szmigiero@oracle.com>

Since KVM commit 5f76f6f5ff96 ("KVM: nVMX: Do not expose MPX VMX controls when guest MPX disabled")
it is not possible to disable MPX on a "-cpu host" just by adding "-mpx"
there if the host CPU does indeed support MPX.
QEMU will fail to set MSR_IA32_VMX_TRUE_{EXIT,ENTRY}_CTLS MSRs in this case
and so trigger an assertion failure.

Instead, besides "-mpx" one has to explicitly add also
"-vmx-exit-clear-bndcfgs" and "-vmx-entry-load-bndcfgs" to QEMU command
line to make it work, which is a bit convoluted.

Make the MPX-related bits in FEAT_VMX_{EXIT,ENTRY}_CTLS dependent on MPX
being actually enabled so such workarounds are no longer necessary.
