From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2a0180129d726a4b953232175857d442651b55a0 upstream.
Mitigation for RFDS requires RFDS_CLEAR capability which is enumerated
by MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES bit 27. If the host has it set, export it
to guests so that they can deploy the mitigation.
RFDS_NO indicates that the system is not vulnerable to RFDS, export it
to guests so that they don't deploy the mitigation unnecessarily. When
the host is not affected by X86_BUG_RFDS, but has RFDS_NO=0, synthesize
RFDS_NO to the guest.
