Add a CR pin feature bit to the KVM cpuid. Add read only MSRs to KVM which guests use to identify which bits they may request be pinned. Add CR pinned MSRs to KVM. Allow guests to request that KVM pin certain bits within control register 0 or 4 via the CR pinned MSRs. Writes to the MSRs fail if they include bits which aren't allowed. Host userspace may clear or modify pinned bits at any time. Once pinned bits are set, the guest may pin additional allowed bits, but not clear any. Clear pinning on vCPU reset.
In the event that the guest vCPU attempts to disable any of the pinned bits, send that vCPU a general protection fault, and leave the register unchanged. Clear pinning on vCPU reset to avoid faulting non-boot CPUs when they are disabled and then re-enabled, which is done when hibernating.
Pinning is not active when running in SMM. Entering SMM disables pinned bits. Writes to control registers within SMM would therefore trigger general protection faults if pinning was enforced. Upon exit from SMM, SMRAM is modified to ensure the values of CR0/4 that will be restored contain the correct values for pinned bits. CR0/4 values are then restored from SMRAM as usual.
When running with nested virtualization, should pinned bits be cleared from host VMCS / VMCB, on VM-Exit, they will be silently restored.
Should userspace expose the CR pinning CPUID feature bit, it must zero CR pinned MSRs on reboot. If it does not, it runs the risk of having the guest enable pinning and subsequently cause general protection faults on next boot due to early boot code setting control registers to values which do not contain the pinned bits. Userspace is responsible for migrating the contents of the CR* pinned MSRs. If userspace fails to migrate the MSRs the protection will no longer be active.
Pinning of sensitive CR bits has already been implemented to protect against exploits directly calling native_write_cr*(). The current protection cannot stop ROP attacks which jump directly to a MOV CR instruction.

Guests running with paravirtualized CR pinning can now be protected against the use of ROP to disable CR bits. The same bits that are being pinned natively may be pinned via the CR pinned MSRs. These bits are WP in CR0, and SMEP, SMAP, and UMIP in CR4.
Other hypervisors such as HyperV have implemented similar protections for Control Registers and MSRs; which security researchers have found effective.
https://www.abatchy.com/2018/01/kernel-exploitation-4
Future work could implement similar MSRs to protect bits elsewhere, such as MSRs. The NXE bit of the EFER MSR is a prime candidate.
Changes for QEMU are required to expose the CR pin cpuid feature bit. As well as clear the MSRs on reboot and enable migration.
