commit 11988499 upstream. KVM allows userspace to violate consistency checks related to the guest's CPUID model to some degree. Generally speaking, userspace has carte blanche when it comes to guest state so long as jamming invalid state won't negatively affect the host. Currently this is seems to be a non-issue as most of the interesting EFER checks are missing, e.g. NX and LME, but those will be added shortly. Proactively exempt userspace from the CPUID checks so as not to break userspace. Note, the efer_reserved_bits check still applies to userspace writes as that mask reflects the host's capabilities, e.g. KVM shouldn't allow a guest to run with NX=1 if it has been disabled in the host. Fixes: d8017474 ("KVM: SVM: Only allow setting of EFER_SVME when CPUID SVM is set") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:
