6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <[email protected]>

commit 0e65cd9e5d41c34f86b7c347967bedac54926041 upstream.

VMCLEAR/VMREAD/VMWRITE/VMPTRLD access the internal VMCS cache, which
is not visible to the compiler; without a memory clobber, the compiler
can reorder them in troublesome ways because "asm volatile" and "asm goto"
only protect against removal of the asm.  For example, placing a VMWRITE
before the corresponding VMCS pointer is loaded can lead to corruption.
While none of this has been observed, it is better to prevent than cure.

Likewise, INVEPT and INVVPID access the TLB and, even though in their
case the effect is only visible to the next VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME, it is
technically correct to add the clobber there too.  So avoid any urge to
special case them, and simply hardcode "memory" into the clobber list
of vmx_asm1() and vmx_asm2().  __vmcs_readl() open-codes its own asm,
so add the clobber there as well.
