[PATCH v11 16/16] KVM: x86: Advertise LASS CPUID to user space

[Binbin Wu]

From: Zeng Guang <guang.zeng@xxxxxxxxx>

Linear address space separation (LASS) is an independent mechanism
to enforce the mode-based protection that can prevent user-mode
accesses to supervisor-mode addresses, and vice versa. Because the
LASS protections are applied before paging, malicious software can
not acquire any paging-based timing information to compromise the
security of system.

The CPUID bit definition to support LASS:
CPUID.(EAX=07H.ECX=1):EAX.LASS[bit 6]

Advertise LASS to user space to support LASS virtualization.

Note: KVM LASS feature exposure also depends on cpuid capability
held by host kernel. It will be masked to guest if host vsyscall
is in emulate mode which actually disables LASS.
