Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: remove vcpu's CPL check in host-invoked XCR set
commit 764bcbc5a6d7a2f3e75c9f0e4caa984e2926e346 upstream.
__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, for example during system reset:
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.
