[PATCH 4.4 57/57] kvm: vmx: allow host to access guest MSR_IA32_BNDCFGS

Show all headers | View raw

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Haozhong Zhang <haozhong.zhang@intel.com>

commit 691bd4340bef49cf7e5855d06cf24444b5bf2d85 upstream.

It's easier for host applications, such as QEMU, if they can always
access guest MSR_IA32_BNDCFGS in VMCS, even though MPX is disabled in
guest cpuid.
