Subject[PATCH] x86/speculation, KVM: respect user IBPB configuration
Date
On vmx_vcpu_load_vmcs and svm_vcpu_load, respect user IBPB config and only
attempt IBPB MSR if either always_ibpb or cond_ibpb and the vcpu thread
has TIF_SPEC_IB.

A vcpu thread will have TIF_SPEC_IB on qemu-kvm using -sandbox on if
kernel cmdline spectre_v2_user=seccomp, which would indicate that the user
is looking for a higher security environment and has workloads that need
to be secured from each other.

Note: The behavior of spectre_v2_user recently changed in 5.16 on
commit 2f46993d83ff ("x86: change default to
spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl spectre_v2_user=prctl")

Prior to that, qemu-kvm with -sandbox on would also have TIF_SPEC_IB
if spectre_v2_user=auto.
