commit7dfbc624ebupstream. Check the current VMCS controls to determine if an MSR write will be intercepted due to MSR bitmaps being disabled. In the nested VMX case, KVM will disable MSR bitmaps in vmcs02 if they're disabled in vmcs12 or if KVM can't map L1's bitmaps for whatever reason. Note, the bad behavior is relatively benign in the current code base as KVM sets all bits in vmcs02's MSR bitmap by default, clears bits if and only if L0 KVM also disables interception of an MSR, and only uses the buggy helper for MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL. Because KVM explicitly tests WRMSR before disabling interception of MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL, the flawed check will only result in KVM reading MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL from hardware when it isn't strictly necessary. Tag the fix for stable in case a future fix wants to use msr_write_intercepted(), in which case a buggy implementation in older kernels could prove subtly problematic.

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.
