Yosry Ahmed 2d1d833b40 KVM: nSVM: Propagate SVM_EXIT_CR0_SEL_WRITE correctly for LMSW emulation
commit 5674a76db0213f9db1e4d08e847ff649b46889c0 upstream.

When emulating L2 instructions, svm_check_intercept() checks whether a
write to CR0 should trigger a synthesized #VMEXIT with
SVM_EXIT_CR0_SEL_WRITE. For MOV-to-CR0, SVM_EXIT_CR0_SEL_WRITE is only
triggered if any bit other than CR0.MP and CR0.TS is updated. However,
according to the APM (24593—Rev.  3.42—March 2024, Table 15-7):

  The LMSW instruction treats the selective CR0-write
  intercept as a non-selective intercept (i.e., it intercepts
  regardless of the value being written).

Skip checking the changed bits for x86_intercept_lmsw and always inject
SVM_EXIT_CR0_SEL_WRITE.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
