Subject: [PATCH 1/3] x86/bugs: Use VM_CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS in VMX as well
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 14:26:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029-verw-vm-v1-1-babf9b961519@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029-verw-vm-v1-0-babf9b961519@linux.intel.com>

TSA mitigation:

  d8010d4ba43e ("x86/bugs: Add a Transient Scheduler Attacks mitigation")

introduced VM_CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS for guests on AMD CPUs. Currently on Intel
CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS is being used for guests which has a much broader scope
(kernel->user also).

Make mitigations on Intel consistent with TSA. This would help handling the
guest-only mitigations better in future.
