Sean Christopherson 8819a49f9f KVM: x86: Unload "FPU" state on INIT if and only if its currently in-use
Replace the hack added by commit f958bd2314 ("KVM: x86: Fix potential
put_fpu() w/o load_fpu() on MPX platform") with a more robust approach of
unloading+reloading guest FPU state based on whether or not the vCPU's FPU
is currently in-use, i.e. currently loaded.  This fixes a bug on hosts
that support CET but not MPX, where kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_get_mpstate()
neglects to load FPU state (it only checks for MPX support) and leads to
KVM attempting to put FPU state due to kvm_apic_accept_events() triggering
INIT emulation.  E.g. on a host with CET but not MPX, syzkaller+KASAN
generates:

with a very simple reproducer:

  r0 = openat$kvm(0xffffffffffffff9c, &(0x7f0000000000), 0x80b00, 0x0)
  r1 = ioctl$KVM_CREATE_VM(r0, 0xae01, 0x0)
  ioctl$KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP(r1, 0xae60)
  r2 = ioctl$KVM_CREATE_VCPU(r1, 0xae41, 0x0)
  ioctl$KVM_SET_IRQCHIP(r1, 0x8208ae63, ...)
  ioctl$KVM_GET_MP_STATE(r2, 0x8004ae98, &(0x7f00000000c0))

Alternatively, the MPX hack in GET_MP_STATE could be extended to cover CET,
but from a "don't break existing functionality" perspective, that isn't any
less risky than peeking at the state of in_use, and it's far less robust
for a long term solution (as evidenced by this bug).

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 reStructuredText 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.
