A system with a never-loaded kvm module will say something different than one that was loaded and then unloaded. That's funky, but not the end of the world I guess. > diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c > index ed54b3b21c39..4452df7f332d 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c > +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c > @@ -1447,7 +1447,12 @@ static ssize_t l1tf_show_state(char *buf) > > static ssize_t itlb_multihit_show_state(char *buf) > { > - if (itlb_multihit_kvm_mitigation) > + if (!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL) || > + !boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_VMX)) > + return sprintf(buf, "KVM: Mitigation: VMX unsupported\n"); > + else if (!(cr4_read_shadow() & X86_CR4_VMXE)) > + return sprintf(buf, "KVM: Mitigation: VMX disabled\n"); > + else if (itlb_multihit_kvm_mitigation) > return sprintf(buf, "KVM: Mitigation: Split huge pages\n"); > else > return sprintf(buf, "KVM: Vulnerable\n"); That's at least short and sweet. I wouldn't object to that at all.
