Sean Christopherson 0eed3d7100 KVM: x86: Fix potential put_fpu() w/o load_fpu() on MPX platform
[ Upstream commit f958bd2314d117f8c29f4821401bc1925bc2e5ef ]

Unlike most state managed by XSAVE, MPX is initialized to zero on INIT.
Because INITs are usually recognized in the context of a VCPU_RUN call,
kvm_vcpu_reset() puts the guest's FPU so that the FPU state is resident
in memory, zeros the MPX state, and reloads FPU state to hardware.  But,
in the unlikely event that an INIT is recognized during
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_get_mpstate() via kvm_apic_accept_events(),
kvm_vcpu_reset() will call kvm_put_guest_fpu() without a preceding
kvm_load_guest_fpu() and corrupt the guest's FPU state (and possibly
userspace's FPU state as well).

Given that MPX is being removed from the kernel[*], fix the bug with the
simple-but-ugly approach of loading the guest's FPU during
KVM_GET_MP_STATE.

[*] See commit f240652b6032b ("x86/mpx: Remove MPX APIs").

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
