Subject: kvm: vmx: Scrub hardware GPRs at VM-exit
From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0cb5b30698fdc8f6b4646012e3acb4ddce430788 upstream.
Guest GPR values are live in the hardware GPRs at VM-exit. Do not
leave any guest values in hardware GPRs after the guest GPR values are
saved to the vcpu_vmx structure.
This is a partial mitigation for CVE 2017-5715 and CVE 2017-5753.
Specifically, it defeats the Project Zero PoC for CVE 2017-5715.
