Subject: [PATCH v4 3/8] x86/bugs: Use an X86_FEATURE_xxx flag for the MMIO Stale Data mitigation
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 17:30:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251031003040.3491385-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251031003040.3491385-1-seanjc@google.com>
Convert the MMIO Stale Data mitigation flag from a static branch into an
X86_FEATURE_xxx so that it can be used via ALTERNATIVE_2 in KVM.
No functional change intended.
