__kvm_set_xcr function does the CPL check when set xcr. __kvm_set_xcr is called in two flows, one is invoked by guest, call stack shown as below, handle_xsetbv(or xsetbv_interception) kvm_set_xcr __kvm_set_xcr the other one is invoked by host(QEMU), call stack shown as below, kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_xcrs __kvm_set_xcr The former does need the CPL check, but the latter does not.
