I would rather name this sev_es_after_set_cpuid() and call it directly from
svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid(). Or I suppose bounce through sev_after_set_cpuid(),
but that seems gratuitous.

AFAICT, there's no point in calling this from init_vmcb(); guest_cpuid_has() is
guaranteed to be false when called during vCPU creation and so the intercept
behavior will be correct, and even if SEV-ES called init_vmcb() from
shutdown_interception(), which it doesn't, guest_cpuid_has() wouldn't change,
i.e. the intercepts wouldn't need to be changed.

init_vmcb_after_set_cpuid() is a special snowflake because it handles both SVM's
true defaults *and* guest CPUID updates.

This needs to toggled interception back on if RDTSCP and RDPID are hidden from
the guest. KVM's wonderful ABI doesn't disallow multiple calls to KVM_SET_CPUID2
before KVM_RUN.

Same thing here.

There is a sev_guest() check in svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid(), so I can move
that into sev_vcpu_after_set_cpuid() and keep the separate
sev_es_vcpu_after_set_cpuid(). And it looks like you would prefer to not
have "vcpu" in the function name? Might be better search-wise if vcpu
remains part of the name?

Ok, I thought that's how it worked, but wasn't 100% sure. I'll move it out
of the init_vmcb() path.

Do you want that as a separate patch with the first patch purely
addressing the current issue? Or combine them?

Will do.

For RDTSCP, svm_recalc_instruction_intercepts() will set/clear the RDTSCP
intercept as part of the svm_vcpu_set_after_cpuid() path, but it will only
do it based on kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_RDTSCP) being true, which is
very likely.

Do you think that is good enough and we can drop the setting and clearing
of the RDTSCP intercept in the sev_es_vcpu_set_after_cpuid() function and
only deal with the TSC_AUX MSR intercept?

On a side note, it looks like RDTSCP would not be intercepted if the KVM
cap X86_FEATURE_RDTSCP feature is cleared, however unlikely, in
kvm_set_cpu_caps() and RDTSCP is not advertised to the guest (assuming the
guest is ignoring the RDTSCP CPUID bit).

Thanks,
Tom
