Private bug reported:
Placeholder. Need to change Precise arch/x86/kernel/kvm/* from:
if (ibrs_enabled && (svm->spec_ctrl != SPEC_CTRL_IBRS))
wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL, svm->spec_ctrl);
<SNIP>
if (ibrs_enabled) {
rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL, svm->spec_ctrl);
if (svm->spec_ctrl != SPEC_CTRL_IBRS)
wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL, SPEC_CTRL_IBRS);
}
to:
x86_spec_ctrl_set_guest(svm->spec_ctrl, svm->virt_spec_ctrl);
<SNIP>
x86_spec_ctrl_restore_host(svm->spec_ctrl, svm->virt_spec_ctrl);
to properly set and restore the MSR.
