Subject: [PATCH 5.15 25/59] x86/its: Add "vmexit" option to skip mitigation on some CPUs
Date: Tue, 20 May 2025 15:50:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250520125754.858805294@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250520125753.836407405@linuxfoundation.org>

5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com>

commit 2665281a07e19550944e8354a2024635a7b2714a upstream.

Ice Lake generation CPUs are not affected by guest/host isolation part of
ITS. If a user is only concerned about KVM guests, they can now choose a
new cmdline option "vmexit" that will not deploy the ITS mitigation when
CPU is not affected by guest/host isolation. This saves the performance
overhead of ITS mitigation on Ice Lake gen CPUs.

When "vmexit" option selected, if the CPU is affected by ITS guest/host
isolation, the default ITS mitigation is deployed.
