Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Advertise EferLmsleUnsupported to userspace
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 13:29:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250925202937.2734175-1-jmattson@google.com> (raw)

CPUID.80000008H:EBX.EferLmsleUnsupported[bit 20] is a defeature
bit. When this bit is clear, EFER.LMSLE is supported. When this bit is
set, EFER.LMLSE is unsupported. KVM has never supported EFER.LMSLE, so
it cannot support a 0-setting of this bit.

Set the bit in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to advertise the unavailability
of EFER.LMSLE to userspace.
