Subject: [PATCH v5 10/14] x86/cpu/intel: remove not needed paravirt_enabled() for f00f work around
Date: Fri,  8 Apr 2016 16:40:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1460158825-13117-11-git-send-email-mcgrof@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1460158825-13117-1-git-send-email-mcgrof@kernel.org>

The X86_BUG_F00F work around is responsible for fixing up the error
generated on attempted F00F exploitation from an OOPS to a SIGILL.
There is no reason why this code should not be allowed to run on
PV guest on a F00F-affected CPU -- it would simply never trigger.
The pv_enabled() check was there only to avoid printing the f00f
workaround, so removing the check is purely a cosmetic change.
