Host initiated writes need to be validated against
kvm_get_core_capabilities(), otherwise userspace can enable SLD when it's
supported in hardware and the kernel, but can't be safely exposed to the
guest due to SMT being on.

How about making the whole check like this:

	if (!msr_info->host_initiated &&
	    (!guest_has_feature_split_lock_detect(vcpu))
		return 1;

	if (data & ~vmx_msr_test_ctrl_valid_bits(vcpu))

Whoops, the check on kvm_get_core_capabilities() should be done in
"case MSR_IA32_CORE_CAPS:", i.e. KVM shouldn't let host userspace advertise
split-lock support unless it's allowed by KVM.

Then this code doesn't need to do a check on host_initiated=true.

Back to the original code, I don't think we need to make the existence of
MSR_TEST_CTRL dependent on guest_has_feature_split_lock_detect(), i.e. this
check can simply be:

	if (!msr_info->host_initiated &&
	    (data & ~vmx_msr_test_ctrl_valid_bits(vcpu)))
		return 1;

If so, it also allow userspace write whatever it wants.

and vmx_get_msr() doesn't need to check anything, i.e. RDMSR always
succeeds.  This is actually aligned with real silicon behavior because
MSR_TEST_CTRL exists on older processors, it's just wasn't documented until
we decided to throw in SPLIT_LOCK_AC, e.g. the LOCK# suppression bit is
marked for deprecation in the SDM, which wouldn't be necessary if it didn't
exist :-)

   Intel ISA/Feature                          Year of Removal
   TEST_CTRL MSR, bit 31 (MSR address 33H)    2019 onwards

   31 Disable LOCK# assertion for split locked access

Well, bit 31 does exist on many old machines. But KVM never exposes bit 33 and even MSR_TEST_CTRL to guest.

Here, do the check on rdmsr is based on your suggestion that if none of its bit is writable (i.e., no bit valid), we should make it non-existing.

On my Haswell box:

   $ rdmsr 0x33
   0
   $ wrmsr 0x33 0x20000000
   wrmsr: CPU 0 cannot set MSR 0x00000033 to 0x0000000020000000
   $ wrmsr 0x33 0x80000000
   $ rdmsr 0x33
   80000000
   $ wrmsr 0x33 0x00000000
   $ rdmsr 0x33
   0

That way the guest_has_feature_split_lock_detect() helper isn't needed
since its only user is vmx_msr_test_ctrl_valid_bits(), i.e. it can be
open coded there.
