Subject: [PATCH] Fix SSBD not being exposed to guests. (v1)
Date: Mon, 21 May 2018 17:54:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180521215449.26423-1-konrad.wilk@oracle.com> (raw)

Hi,

Without this patch, when launching QEMU with -cpu +ssbd I ended up
with a warning seeing that the CPU does not support - which in fact it does.

The issue was the X86_FEATURE_ -  the kvm_cpuid_7_0_edx_x86_features
had bit 17 set (X86_FEATURE_SSBD), while the right bit should have been
bit 31 ( X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL_SSBD). That meant the masking:

	entry->edx &= kvm_cpuid_7_0_edx_x86_features;

would nicely clear the SSBD bit.

This fixes:
Fixes: 52817587e706 ("x86/cpufeatures: Disentangle SSBD enumeration")
