KVM: x86: Always enable legacy FP/SSE in allowed user XFEATURES
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit a1020a2 upstream.

Allow FP and SSE state to be saved and restored via KVM_{G,SET}_XSAVE on
XSAVE-capable hosts even if their bits are not exposed to the guest via
XCR0.

Failing to allow FP+SSE first showed up as a QEMU live migration failure,
where migrating a VM from a pre-XSAVE host, e.g. Nehalem, to an XSAVE
host failed due to KVM rejecting KVM_SET_XSAVE.  However, the bug also
causes problems even when migrating between XSAVE-capable hosts as
KVM_GET_SAVE won't set any bits in user_xfeatures if XSAVE isn't exposed
to the guest, i.e. KVM will fail to actually migrate FP+SSE.

Because KVM_{G,S}ET_XSAVE are designed to allowing migrating between
hosts with and without XSAVE, KVM_GET_XSAVE on a non-XSAVE (by way of
fpu_copy_guest_fpstate_to_uabi()) always sets the FP+SSE bits in the
header so that KVM_SET_XSAVE will work even if the new host supports
XSAVE.
