| |
Add a sanity check that FLUSHBYASID is available if SEV is supported in hardware, as SEV (and beyond) guests are bound to a single ASID, i.e. KVM can't "flush" by assigning a new, fresh ASID to the guest. If FLUSHBYASID isn't supported for some bizarre reason, KVM would completely fail to do TLB flushes for SEV+ guests (see pre_svm_run() and pre_sev_run()).
