This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
KVM: VMX: introduce alloc_loaded_vmcs
to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is:
KVM_VMX_introduce_alloc_loaded_vmcs.patch
and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.
Subject: KVM: VMX: introduce alloc_loaded_vmcs
From: Paolo Bonzini pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx
Date: Thu Jan 11 12:16:15 2018 +0100
From: Paolo Bonzini pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx
commit f21f165ef922c2146cc5bdc620f542953c41714b
Group together the calls to alloc_vmcs and loaded_vmcs_init. Soon we'll also
allocate an MSR bitmap there.
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # prereq for Spectre mitigation
