I think whether MSRs are XSAVE-managed or not isn't related or important in
this patch. And I don't get what's the intent of the last paragraph.

how about:

Add CET MSRs to the list of MSRs reported to userspace if the feature
i.e., IBT or SHSTK, associated with the MSRs is supported by KVM.

MSR_KVM_GUEST_SSP really should be added by a separate patch.

it is incorrect to put MSR_KVM_GUEST_SSP here because the rdmsr_safe() in
kvm_probe_msr_to_save() will fail since hardware doesn't have this MSR.

IMO, MSR_KVM_GUEST_SSP should go to emulated_msrs_all[].

shall we consider the case where IBT is supported while SS isn't
(e.g., in L1 guest)?

if yes, we should do
	case MSR_IA32_U_CET:
	case MSR_IA32_S_CET:
		if (!kvm_is_cet_supported())
			return;
	case MSR_IA32_PL0_SSP ... MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB:
		if (!kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_SHSTK))
			return;

why not just check if SHSTK or IBT is supported explicitly, i.e.,

	return kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_SHSTK) ||
	       kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_IBT);

this is straightforward. And strictly speaking, the support of a feature and
the support of managing a feature's state via XSAVE(S) are two different things.

then patch 16 has no need to do

+	/*
+	 * If SHSTK and IBT are not available in KVM, clear CET user bit in
+	 * kvm_caps.supported_xss so that kvm_is_cet__supported() returns
+	 * false when called.
+	 */
+	if (!kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_SHSTK) &&
+	    !kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_IBT))
+		kvm_caps.supported_xss &= ~CET_XSTATE_MASK;
