Add compile-time assertions to verify that usage of F() and friends in kvm_set_cpu_caps() is scoped to the correct CPUID word, e.g. to detect bugs where KVM passes a feature bit from word X into word y. Add a one-off assertion in the aliased feature macro to ensure that only word 0x8000_0001.EDX aliased the features defined for 0x1.EDX. To do so, convert kvm_cpu_cap_init() to a macro and have it define a local variable to track which CPUID word is being initialized that is then used to validate usage of F() (all of the inputs are compile-time constants and thus can be fed into BUILD_BUG_ON()). Redefine KVM_VALIDATE_CPU_CAP_USAGE after kvm_set_cpu_caps() to be a nop so that F() can be used in other flows that aren't as easily hardened, e.g. __do_cpuid_func_emulated() and __do_cpuid_func(). Invoke KVM_VALIDATE_CPU_CAP_USAGE() in SF() and X86_64_F() to ensure the validation occurs, e.g. if the usage of F() is completely compiled out (which shouldn't happen for boot_cpu_has(), but could happen in the future, e.g. if KVM were to use cpu_feature_enabled()).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
