Synchronize XSS from the GHCB to KVM's internal tracking if the guest marks XSS as valid on a #VMGEXIT. Like XCR0, KVM needs an up-to-date copy of XSS in order to compute the required XSTATE size when emulating CPUID.0xD.0x1 for the guest. Treat the incoming XSS change as an emulated write, i.e. validatate the guest-provided value, to avoid letting the guest load garbage into KVM's tracking. Simply ignore bad values, as either the guest managed to get an unsupported value into hardware, or the guest is misbehaving and providing pure garbage. In either case, KVM can't fix the broken guest. Explicitly allow access to XSS at all times, as KVM needs to ensure its copy of XSS stays up-to-date. E.g. KVM supports migration of SEV-ES guests and so needs to allow the host to save/restore XSS, otherwise a guest that *knows* its XSS hasn't change could get stale/bad CPUID emulation if the guest doesn't provide XSS in the GHCB on every exit. This creates a hypothetical problem where a guest could request emulation of RDMSR or WRMSR on XSS, but arguably that's not even a problem, e.g. it would be entirely reasonable for a guest to request "emulation" as a way to inform the hypervisor that its XSS value has been modified. Note, emulating the change as an MSR write also takes care of side effects, e.g. marking dynamic CPUID bits as dirty.

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.
