Subject[PATCH 1/2] x86/cpufeatures: Add the Virtual SPEC_CTRL feature
From
Date
Newer AMD processors have a feature to virtualize the use of the SPEC_CTRL
MSR. This feature is identified via CPUID 0x8000000A_EDX[20]. When present,
the SPEC_CTRL MSR is automatically virtualized and no longer requires
hypervisor intervention.
