commit8647c52e95upstream. Mask off xfeatures that aren't exposed to the guest only when saving guest state via KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} instead of modifying user_xfeatures directly. Preserving the maximal set of xfeatures in user_xfeatures restores KVM's ABI for KVM_SET_XSAVE, which prior to commitad856280dd("x86/kvm/fpu: Limit guest user_xfeatures to supported bits of XCR0") allowed userspace to load xfeatures that are supported by the host, irrespective of what xfeatures are exposed to the guest. There is no known use case where userspace *intentionally* loads xfeatures that aren't exposed to the guest, but the bug fixed by commitad856280ddwas specifically that KVM_GET_SAVE{2} would save xfeatures that weren't exposed to the guest, e.g. would lead to userspace unintentionally loading guest-unsupported xfeatures when live migrating a VM. Restricting KVM_SET_XSAVE to guest-supported xfeatures is especially problematic for QEMU-based setups, as QEMU has a bug where instead of terminating the VM if KVM_SET_XSAVE fails, QEMU instead simply stops loading guest state, i.e. resumes the guest after live migration with incomplete guest state, and ultimately results in guest data corruption. Note, letting userspace restore all host-supported xfeatures does not fix setups where a VM is migrated from a host *without* commitad856280dd, to a target with a subset of host-supported xfeatures. However there is no way to safely address that scenario, e.g. KVM could silently drop the unsupported features, but that would be a clear violation of KVM's ABI and so would require userspace to opt-in, at which point userspace could simply be updated to sanitize the to-be-loaded XSAVE state.

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.
