Subject: [PATCH v8 14/21] KVM: x86: Mark CR4.FRED as not reserved
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 18:09:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251014010950.1568389-15-xin@zytor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251014010950.1568389-1-xin@zytor.com>
From: Xin Li <xin3.li@intel.com>
The CR4.FRED bit, i.e., CR4[32], is no longer a reserved bit when
guest cpu cap has FRED, i.e.,
1) All of FRED KVM support is in place.
2) Guest enumerates FRED.
Otherwise it is still a reserved bit.

Change in v5:
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Change in v4:
* Rebase on top of "guest_cpu_cap".
Change in v3:
* Don't allow CR4.FRED=1 before all of FRED KVM support is in place
(Sean Christopherson).
