Fixes: f9eb4af67c9d ("KVM: nVMX: VMX instructions: add checks for #GP/#SS exceptions")
Fixes: 70210c044b4e ("KVM: VMX: Add SGX ENCLS[ECREATE] handler to enforce CPUID restrictions")
It is better to split this patch into two: one for nested and one for
SGX.

It is possible that there is a kernel release which has just one of
above two flawed commits, then this fix patch cannot be applied cleanly
to the release.
The nVMX code isn't buggy, VMX instructions #UD in compatibility mode, and except
for VMCALL, that #UD has higher priority than VM-Exit interception.  So I'd say
just drop the nVMX side of things.

Got it.
Do you mind if I add a comment about it in code?



I could have sworn ENCLS had the same behavior, but the SDM disagrees.  Though why
on earth ENCLS is allowed in compatibility mode is beyond me.  ENCLU I can kinda
sorta understand, but ENCLS?!?!!

Yes, the SDM does have definition about the behavior "outside 64-bit mode (IA32_EFER.LAM = 0 || CS.L = 0)".

IMO, the change has very little impact on performance since the two intercepted ENCLS leaf EINIT & ECREATE will
only be called once per lifecycle of a SGX Enclave.
