KVM: x86: Emulate SSP[63:32]!=0 #GP(0) for FAR JMP to 32-bit mode
Emulate the Shadow Stack restriction that the current SSP must be a 32-bit value on a FAR JMP from 64-bit mode to compatibility mode. From the SDM's pseudocode for FAR JMP: IF ShadowStackEnabled(CPL) IF (IA32_EFER.LMA and DEST(segment selector).L) = 0 (* If target is legacy or compatibility mode then the SSP must be in low 4GB *) IF (SSP & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000 != 0); THEN #GP(0); FI; FI; FI; Note, only the current CPL needs to be considered, as FAR JMP can't be used for inter-privilege level transfers, and KVM rejects emulation of all other far branch instructions when Shadow Stacks are enabled. To give the emulator access to GUEST_SSP, special case handling MSR_KVM_INTERNAL_GUEST_SSP in emulator_get_msr() to treat the access as a host access (KVM doesn't allow guest accesses to internal "MSRs"). The ->get_msr() API is only used for implicit accesses from the emulator, i.e. is only used with hardcoded MSR indices, and so any access to MSR_KVM_INTERNAL_GUEST_SSP is guaranteed to be from KVM, i.e. not from the guest via RDMSR.
