[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 018/216] KVM: s390: flush CPU on load control

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Mon Jan 12 2015 - 14:16:09 EST


3.16.7-ckt4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2dca485f8740208604543c3960be31a5dd3ea603 upstream.

some control register changes will flush some aspects of the CPU, e.g.
POP explicitely mentions that for CR9-CR11 "TLBs may be cleared".
Instead of trying to be clever and only flush on specific CRs, let
play safe and flush on all lctl(g) as future machines might define
new bits in CRs. Load control intercept should not happen that often.
