KVM: SVM: Don't flush cache if hardware enforces cache coherency across encryption domains
commit e1ebb2b4 upstream. In some hardware implementations, coherency between the encrypted and unencrypted mappings of the same physical page in a VM is enforced. In such a system, it is not required for software to flush the VM's page from all CPU caches in the system prior to changing the value of the C-bit for the page. So check that bit before flushing the cache. Signed-off-by:Krish Sadhukhan <krish.sadhukhan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by:
