[PATCH] kvm: svm: Ensure an IBPB on all affected CPUs when freeing a vmcb

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Previously, we only called indirect_branch_prediction_barrier on the
logical CPU that freed a vmcb. This function should be called on all
logical CPUs that last loaded the vmcb in question.

Fixes: 15d45071523d ("KVM/x86: Add IBPB support")
