Subject: [GIT PULL] KVM: x86: Remove MTRR virtualization
Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2024 16:56:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240712235701.1458888-6-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240712235701.1458888-1-seanjc@google.com>

Yank out KVM's MTRR virtualization, which is Intel-only and limited to very
specific setups, i.e. can't possibly be useful for any real world, modern guest.

The following changes since commit c3f38fa61af77b49866b006939479069cd451173:

  Linux 6.10-rc2 (2024-06-02 15:44:56 -0700)

  KVM: VMX: Always honor guest PAT on CPUs that support self-snoop (2024-06-07 07:18:03 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM x86 MTRR virtualization removal

Remove support for virtualizing MTRRs on Intel CPUs, along with a nasty CR0.CD
hack, and instead always honor guest PAT on CPUs that support self-snoop.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Sean Christopherson (3):
      KVM: x86: Remove VMX support for virtualizing guest MTRR memtypes
      KVM: VMX: Drop support for forcing UC memory when guest CR0.CD=1
      KVM: VMX: Always honor guest PAT on CPUs that support self-snoop

Yan Zhao (2):
      srcu: Add an API for a memory barrier after SRCU read lock
      KVM: x86: Ensure a full memory barrier is emitted in the VM-Exit path
