[PATCH v6] x86/mm: Don't disable INVLPG if "incomplete Global INVLPG flushes" is fixed by microcode or the kernel is running in a hypervisor

From: Xi Ruoyao
Date: Thu Apr 11 2024 - 06:49:11 EST


Per the "Processor Specification Update" documentations referred by the
intel-microcode-20240312 release note, this microcode release has fixed
the issue for all affected models.

So don't disable INVLPG if the microcode is new enough. The precise
minimum microcode revision fixing the issue is provided by engineer from
Intel.

And the erratum says:

This erratum does not apply in VMX non-root operation. It applies
only when PCIDs are enabled and either in VMX root operation or
outside VMX operation.

So if the kernel is running in a hypervisor, we are in VMX non-root
operation and we should be safe.
