Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: skip host CPUID call for hypervisor leaves
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2022 12:50:15 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220120175015.1747392-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
Hypervisor leaves are always synthesized by __do_cpuid_func. Just return
zeroes and do not ask the host, it would return a bogus value anyway if
it were used.
