[PATCH 4.18 62/79] x86/KVM/VMX: Replace vmx_l1d_flush_always with vmx_l1d_flush_cond
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Aug 14 2018 - 14:11:30 EST
4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicolai Stange <nstange@xxxxxxx>
The vmx_l1d_flush_always static key is only ever evaluated if
vmx_l1d_should_flush is enabled. In that case however, there are only two
L1d flushing modes possible: "always" and "conditional".
The "conditional" mode's implementation tends to require more sophisticated
logic than the "always" mode.
Avoid inverted logic by replacing the 'vmx_l1d_flush_always' static key
with a 'vmx_l1d_flush_cond' one.
There is no change in functionality.
