SPEC_CTRL is an MSR, i.e. a 64-bit value, but the assembly code that loads the guest's value assumes bits 63:32 are always zero. The bug is _currently_ benign because neither KVM nor the kernel support setting any of bits 63:32, but it's still a bug that needs to be fixed. Note, the host's value is restored in C code and is unaffected. Fixes: 07853adc ("KVM: VMX: Prevent RSB underflow before vmenter") Suggested-by:Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Signed-off-by:
