commit 9267342206ce17f6933d57a3128cdc504d5945c9 Author: Daniel P. Berrangé Date: Mon May 21 23:05:08 2018 +0100 cpu: define the 'virt-ssbd' CPUID feature bit (CVE-2018-3639) Some AMD processors only support a non-architectural means of enabling Speculative Store Bypass Disable. To allow simplified handling in virtual environments, hypervisors will expose an architectural definition through CPUID bit 0x80000008_EBX[25]. This needs to be exposed to guest OS running on AMD x86 hosts to allow them to protect against CVE-2018-3639. Note that since this CPUID bit won't be present in the host CPUID results on physical hosts, it will not be enabled automatically in guests configured with "host-model" CPU unless using QEMU version >= 2.9.0. Thus for older versions of QEMU, this feature must be manually enabled using policy=force. Guests using the "host-passthrough" CPU mode do not need special handling. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
