Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] x86/cpufeatures: Add the Virtual SPEC_CTRL feature
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2021 11:21:33 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <161073129332.13848.9112749469874197137.stgit@bmoger-ubuntu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <161073115461.13848.18035972823733547803.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 present, the
SPEC_CTRL MSR is automatically virtualized.
