KVM: x86: Add BUILD_BUG_ON() to detect bad usage of "scattered" flags
mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.2-rc1 commit c4690d01 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/intel-kernel/issues/I8GYV5 CVE: N/A Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c4690d016182d271a862767145db8b2bc792f4a8 ------------------------------------- Intel-SIG: commit c4690d01 ("KVM: x86: Add BUILD_BUG_ON() to detect bad usage of "scattered" flags") ------------------------------------- KVM: x86: Add BUILD_BUG_ON() to detect bad usage of "scattered" flags Add a compile-time assert in the SF() macro to detect improper usage, i.e. to detect passing in an X86_FEATURE_* flag that isn't actually scattered by the kernel. Upcoming feature flags will be 100% KVM-only and will have X86_FEATURE_* macros that point at a kvm_only_cpuid_leafs word, not a kernel-defined word. Using SF() and thus boot_cpu_has() for such feature flags would access memory beyond x86_capability[NCAPINTS] and at best incorrectly hide a feature, and at worst leak kernel state to userspace.
