[PATCH 4.18 29/79] x86/cpufeatures: Add detection of L1D cache flush support.
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Aug 14 2018 - 13:25:16 EST
4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>
336996-Speculative-Execution-Side-Channel-Mitigations.pdf defines a new MSR
(IA32_FLUSH_CMD) which is detected by CPUID.7.EDX[28]=1 bit being set.
This new MSR "gives software a way to invalidate structures with finer
granularity than other architectual methods like WBINVD."
