KVM: SEV-ES: Delegate LBR virtualization to the processor
As documented in APM[1], LBR Virtualization must be enabled for SEV-ES guests. Although KVM currently enforces LBRV for SEV-ES guests, there are multiple issues with it: o MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is still intercepted. Since MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR interception is used to dynamically toggle LBRV for performance reasons, this can be fatal for SEV-ES guests. For ex SEV-ES guest on Zen3: [guest ~]# wrmsr 0x1d9 0x4 KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0xffffffff EAX=00000004 EBX=00000000 ECX=000001d9 EDX=00000000 Fix this by never intercepting MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR for SEV-ES guests. No additional save/restore logic is required since MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is of swap type A. o KVM will disable LBRV if userspace sets MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR before the VMSA is encrypted. Fix this by moving LBRV enablement code post VMSA encryption.
