4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 3fa045be4c720146b18a19cea7a767dc6ad5df94 upstream 336996-Speculative-Execution-Side-Channel-Mitigations.pdf defines a new MSR (IA32_FLUSH_CMD aka 0x10B) which has similar write-only semantics to other MSRs defined in the document. The semantics of this MSR is to allow "finer granularity invalidation of caching structures than existing mechanisms like WBINVD. It will writeback and invalidate the L1 data cache, including all cachelines brought in by preceding instructions, without invalidating all caches (eg. L2 or LLC). Some processors may also invalidate the first level level instruction cache on a L1D_FLUSH command. The L1 data and instruction caches may be shared across the logical processors of a core." Use it instead of the loop based L1 flush algorithm.
