[PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: always expose VIRT_SSBD to guests

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Thu Aug 15 2019 - 03:41:34 EST


Even though it is preferrable to use SPEC_CTRL (represented by
X86_FEATURE_AMD_SSBD) instead of VIRT_SPEC, VIRT_SPEC is always
supported anyway because otherwise it would be impossible to
migrate from old to new CPUs. Make this apparent in the
result of KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID as well.
