Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/cpufeatures: Add the Virtual SPEC_CTRL feature
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2020 16:31:32 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <160867629293.3471.18225691185459839634.stgit@bmoger-ubuntu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <160867624053.3471.7106539070175910424.stgit@bmoger-ubuntu>
Newer AMD processors have a feature to virtualize the use of the
SPEC_CTRL MSR. Presence of this feature is indicated via CPUID
function 0x8000000A_EDX[20]: GuestSpecCtrl. When preset, the SPEC_CTRL
MSR is automatically virtualized.
