Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] x86/ucode: Refine TLB flush fix for AMD Fam17h CPUs
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 22:16:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027221702.3362552-3-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027221702.3362552-1-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
In the time since Xen discovered this, Linux stubled on it too and AMD
produced a narrower fix, limited to Fam17h CPUs only. To my knowledge,
there's no erratum or other public statement from AMD on the matter.
Adjust Xen to match the narrower fix.
