[PATCH v1 1/3] x86/cpu/AMD: Make LFENCE a serializing instruction

From: Tom Lendacky
Date: Fri Jan 05 2018 - 11:08:00 EST


To aid in speculation control, make LFENCE a serializing instruction.
This is done by setting bit 1 of MSR 0xc0011029 (DE_CFG). Some families
that support LFENCE do not have this MSR. For these families, the LFENCE
instruction is already serializing.
