Hi,

This the v3 series to support CET (CET-SHSTK & CET-IBT) in QEMU, which
is based on the commit c0e80879c876 ("Merge tag 'pull-vfio-20251022' of
https://github.com/legoater/qemu into staging"). And you can also find
the code here:

https://gitlab.com/zhao.liu/qemu/-/commits/i386-cet-v1-10-22-2025

Compared to v2 [1] (posted two years ago), the basic CET support (
xstate/MSR/vmstate/CPUID) remains roughly unchanged. And I also noted
the change logs in the patches inherited from v2.

Thanks for your feedback!

Overview
========

Control-flow enforcement technology includes 2 x86-architectural
features:
 - CET shadow stack (CET-SHSTK or CET-SS).
 - CET indirect branch tracking (CET-IBT).

Intel has implemented both 2 features since Sapphire Rapids (P-core) &
Sierra Forest (E-core).

AMD also implemented shadow stack since Zen3 [2] - this series has
considerred only-shstk case and is supposed to work on AMD platform, but
I hasn't tested this on AMD.

The basic CET support (patch 11-17) includes:
 * CET-S & CET-U supervisor xstates support.
 * CET CPUIDs enumeration.
 * CET MSRs save & load.
 * CET guest SSP register (KVM treats this as a special internal
   register - KVM_REG_GUEST_SSP) save & load.
 * Vmstates for MSRs & guest SSP.

But before CET support, there's a lot of cleanup work needed for
supervisor xstate.

Before CET-S/CET-U, QEMU has already supports arch lbr as the 1st
supervisor xstate. Although arch LBR has not yet been merged into KVM
(still planned), this series cleans up supervisor state-related support
and avoids breaking the current arch LBR in QEMU - that's what patch
2-10 are doing.

Additionally, besides KVM, this series also supports CET for TDX.
