[PATCH v8 2/2] x86/mm: Don't disable PCID if the kernel is running on a hypervisor
From: Xi Ruoyao
Date: Sat Apr 13 2024 - 00:42:08 EST
The Intel erratum for "incomplete Global INVLPG flushes" 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 to use PCID.
