Subject: [PATCH 5.4 2/4] x86/cpu: Add hardware-enforced cache coherency as a CPUID feature
Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2022 11:29:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220311112927.8400-3-liam.merwick@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220311112927.8400-1-liam.merwick@oracle.com>

From: Krish Sadhukhan <krish.sadhukhan@oracle.com>

commit 5866e9205b47a983a77ebc8654949f696342f2ab upstream.

In some hardware implementations, coherency between the encrypted and
unencrypted mappings of the same physical page is enforced. In such a system,
it is not required for software to flush the page from all CPU caches in the
system prior to changing the value of the C-bit for a page. This hardware-
enforced cache coherency is indicated by EAX[10] in CPUID leaf 0x8000001f.

 [ bp: Use one of the free slots in word 3. ]
