Cc: x86@xxxxxxxxxx, kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, bp@xxxxxxxxx, pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx, peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx, cascardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, surajjs@xxxxxxxxxx, ssouhlal@xxxxxxxxxxx, suleiman@xxxxxxxxxx
Message-ID: <20221117091952.1940850-25-suleiman@xxxxxxxxxx>
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit acac5e98ef8d638a411cfa2ee676c87e1973f126 upstream.
This mask has been made redundant by kvm_spec_ctrl_test_value(). And it
doesn't even work when MSR interception is disabled, as the guest can
just write to SPEC_CTRL directly.
