x86: KVM: Advertise AVX-IFMA CPUID to user space
mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.2-rc1 commit 5e85c4eb 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=5e85c4ebf206e50c58e82ca44c15e2be2bac6923 ------------------------------------- Intel-SIG: commit 5e85c4eb ("x86: KVM: Advertise AVX-IFMA CPUID to user space") ------------------------------------- x86: KVM: Advertise AVX-IFMA CPUID to user space AVX-IFMA is a new instruction in the latest Intel platform Sierra Forest. This instruction packed multiplies unsigned 52-bit integers and adds the low/high 52-bit products to Qword Accumulators. The bit definition: CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EAX[bit 23] AVX-IFMA is on an expected-dense CPUID leaf and some other bits on this leaf have kernel usages. Given that, define this feature bit like X86_FEATURE_<name> in kernel. Considering AVX-IFMA itself has no truly kernel usages and /proc/cpuinfo has too much unreadable flags, hide this one in /proc/cpuinfo. Advertise AVX-IFMA to KVM userspace. This is safe because there are no new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to use this feature. Signed-off-by:Jiaxi Chen <jiaxi.chen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by:
